The 85ft. Fraserburgh wooden white-fish trawler "Excelsior" was built by Forbes of Sandhaven in 1974 as the "Sunrise", changing her name and ownership when a new steel-built "Sunrise" was delivered from Campbeltown shipyard in the mid-eighties.

This painting is 18 x 24 inches in size, and was painted in oils on hardboard.  It was bought from an exhibition in Shetland Museum & Archives in early 2009.
