![]() Peggy is a typical Herring Drifter built at the turn of the century. Hundreds of these ships sailed from ports along the east coast of Scotland. Peggy was built in 1907 by Hall and Russell of Aberdeen. Along with a sister ship the Jeannie she was built for the Duncan family of Peterhead. During the first world war Peggy was used by the Admiralty as an Admirals barge. She was also used in the process of laying a cable from Peterhead to Russia for the British and Russian governments. The cable was known locally as the Russian cable!. |
