Sailing Masters

I am putting a piece together on Shetland’s last commercial sailing captains.

The last I have is Thomas Henry (1854) of Sandness who was Master of the barque Kilmallie in 1926.

I would be very interested to hear if anyone has a Shetland sailing Master after that date.

Please email me at <shetlandmariners @gmail.com> or phone me at 01595 870266. Thanks.
