PETERHEAD HARBOUR IN THE 50,S

TRIP OVERVIEW

Well thats another trip finished.Prices were very poor !!!
Disappointing as the two trips before this one they were
really good.They are blaming the poor prices on the
amount of fish coming into the Uk from Iceland.
Never mind we'll still enjoy our time at home and
hopefully next trip they will be much better.
