CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH – GLENIFFER – A Peek Down Below

Todays woody is the 39’ classic wooden Bridgedecker – GLENIFFER. A recent addition to tme (thanks Ian McDonald) – as always seems to be the case a few factual discrepancies, so in the interests of getting right on WW , we will go with what Harold Kidd advised in a previous WW story (linked below – great b/w photo there) that she was built by Chas Bailey & Sons and launched in October 1930.

GLENIFFER also made a cameo WW appearance in April 2017 (linked below)
