Aberdeenshire / Building of the break water Peterhead may be you will find some of your family
« on: Friday 26 August 11 21:41 BST (UK) »
I posted many moons ago that i had a disk with the who history of the building of the break water in Peterhead. but due to moving house I had miss placed it.
well today i found the it and there are many pictures of the men that were involved in the building of it and some are named . there are group and individual pictures .
but I not sure i can post it all if i make a mess of this please can one of the moderater help me thanks
i have posted a few of the photos but there so many more and looks like i can only post a few at a time.
my grandfather Tom Kelly and his son Thomas Kelly both worked on the build.
I got these picture when I diver working on the new refinerys where I live in south Wales was renting a room from me. I told him my uncle and grandfather had also been divers and were from Peterhead. he got out his lap top and then began to show me the pictures he had relating to Peterhead breakwater. I then spotted my grandfathers name and later my father was able to pick out my uncle (my mother's brother). The diver who gave me the pictures had got them from a son of one of the divers who also worked on it.
I have pictures of the orininal plans the scale models that were made and much much more but for some reasone i can't post any more pictures ??
