Built in Denmark for Otto Jensen who used to work in the Irish Sea and North Sea with her.When she was sold she went back to Denmark I think Thomas Kirks brother bought her.I did hear she has been sold back to this country under another name but I can’t confirm this.

Although this one was sold to Denmark it was the Charnella Otto’s previous boat that was sold to Thomas Kirks brother
