History
This folding dinghy was built about 1909 by the Berthon Boat Company. It is not known when she arrived in Unst, but possibly soon after World War I. She was used for loch fishing and then stored in the attic of a house since the early 1930's until presented to Unst Boat Haven. November 2009
