The fishing drifter Lavatera was used as an armed naval auxiliary during the First World War. She was built in 1913 by W & G Stephen of Banff for John Wood Snr. and requisitioned by the Admiralty for wartime service in the Royal Navy in March 1915, and returned to the owners in 1920. During the Second World War it was again requisitioned in April 1940 until July 1946 and first used as a Barrage Balloon Vessel (BBV) and later as a Harbour Service Vessel. She was scrapped in 1948. In the photo the crew are in civilian clothing, and the bow-mounted cannon (a three pounder gun) is clearly visible. She is flying the White Ensign. Submitted by Robert Paterson.*

Isle of Lewis fishermen. Alexander MacLeod was born around 1900 in a village just outside of Stornoway. A passionate photographer, Alec kept some type of camera (still and motion) close by his side for his entire adult life. The photos in his collection are invariably of family and friends and scenic shots from around Stornoway (possibly Laxdale), travels in the Highlands and around the world. A few of these Highland images from the early 1900s have been submitted to the SHPA archive by his grandson Iain MacLeod of Nova Scotia. #
