Pioneer PZ277 was built Paynters of St Ives for local fisherman Henry Hendy. She remained in the Hendy family until 1988.
Some records state her build date as 1891, some a little later in 1899.
She was the first steam fishing vessel in west Cornwall and by all accounts was not well received by the local fisherman as her steam propulsion enabled her to reach fishing grounds more quickly and gave a distinct advantage over the traditional sailing vessels. It seems this animosity towards the boat forced her to move to Penzance where she worked out of as a drifter for many years.
She was a steam boat until 1947 when a Kelvin diesel was installed, followed later by a Lister and now a Ford.
Her history is a rich and varied one, from her days breaking new ground in the fishing industry, mustered for the D-Day landing evacuations, Used in the clean up of the Tori Canyon oil spill clean up and she has eve had a childrens book written about her. The reason that she was not used in the D-Day evacuations was that the volume of coal needed aboard would have taken up too much space and not left any room for soldiers.
Bought by her current owner and refitted with some new planking, new wiring, new sails and general improvement and upgrading

❤ what a lovely classic, cheers
You show lovely boats, and this is no exception. I've never understood the British penchant for wood-burning stoves in boats. For a start, where is one storing all the damn logs, and how well is damp wood going to burn?!
It's from the days of steam engines burning coal. Having a stove burning the same sourced coal would only have been logical and very practical.
Yes, I assumed that they would have used coal back when it was easy to do so...but seems like a pointless anachronism to still have a wood or coal heater in this day and age.@@ingvarhallstrom2306
