PZ fishing boats
« on: Sunday 28 June 20 16:50 BST (UK) »
Frank(Francis) James of Newlyn Cornwall had a PZ "Viper" lugger fishing boat around 1845 . I am doing some maritime family history research on him. "Can anyone tell me were to find old photos of PZ lugger boats ?". Photos always spark interest for family trees . Thanks .
