Here you see Little Bear, the enigmatic North Sea fishing-trawler-look-alike that hails from Rockport, Maine. She’s been visiting in Great Cove again and was moored yesterday where we could get a good look at her.
In reply to my July post on Little Bear, Pete Radclyffe suggested that she might be one of the famed Inchcape luxury trawler yachts. She certainly looks like one, but I’ve been unable to confirm that she’s an Inchcape
Nonetheless, there is a report that Little Bear was built in Scotland in 1964. That would be consistent with where and when those Jack Evans-designed Inchcape sea yachts were being built by the historic Eyemouth Boatbuilding Company in Berwickshire.
Inchcape (aka Bell Rock) is a reef and lighthouse about a dozen miles off the east coast of Angus, Scotland, near Dundee and Fife. (Image taken in Brooklin, Maine, on September 3, 2022.)
