Publisher's Synopsis
'Forthright' and 'Steadfast' were two of many wooden fishing boats created by the Peterhead firm of Richard Irvin & Sons from the 1950s to the 1970s, and their names characterise the entire output of the yard. In 'Forthright & Steadfast' artist, photographer and fishing industry journalist Gloria Wilson gives us her appreciation, in words and some 100 photos and drawings, of the boats themselves and some of the individuals who designed, built and operated them.
