My Father, Ralph Coombs, was 1 of the men who build The Willing Lass. I remember him telling me about it when I was a small boy. I may be mistaken, but I think she was built in Springdale by Pilley's. She sank some years ago out around Newfoundland. Thanks for posting this. It was a very pleasant surprise.
A man originally from my hometown in Labrador wrote a song about The Willing Lass years ago. He recently added a video to TH-cam. The Willing Lass by Glen Acreman.
Fantastic look at how it was over there, Ive always been intrested in Cod and Newfoundland since I read the boat who wouldnt float in the early 80s, thanks.

For a long time she remained docked by the side of the Government wharf in Springdale. We used to go fishing of her deck and would pretend we were sailors taking her out on the bounding main! I lovely schooner all around! I wonder what happened to her?

Totally enjoyed this.
Skipper Harold Parsons could star in movies.

In the old days the crew of the burnt boat would’ve been put to work on “The Willing Lass”!

That's my pop
Very entertaining
My brother in law was born on Belle Isle
What year was this filmed?
1985
Was struck by how similar she is to the West Coast, Norwegian built halibut schooners still fishing in Alaskan waters.
My pop is Isaac rose
Hard thing to watch, your dad losing that boat.
