Gaps in Fedoa's History

We are in the process of piecing together Fedoa’s history, and previous
owners and other sources have helped us to ascertain the following:

1927 – 1934 (?)
Col. William Wordie OBE, of Greenock.
Chairman of William Wordie & Co,
Scotland’s largest carriers and hauliers.

1934  – 1952 (?)
Baron Joseph Paton Maclay, of Glasgow.
Chairman of Maclay and Macintyre Shipping,
member of the Privy Council.

1952- 1962 (?)
Arthur Golden (No Information)

1962 – 1982
April and Ken Rowell, Miami, Florida

1982 – 1996
Frank and Hildoris Bradley, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
(Denny Allen (No Information))

1996 - 2001
Sam and Jennifer Elder, St Petersburg, Florida


In 2001 Fairlie Restorations collected the boat on behalf of a new owner, and shipped her back to the River Hamble in preparation for a full restoration.  This never happened and Moreton Marine found Fedoa tucked away under a cover at the back of a yard there in 2009.

Does anybody know any more information about her history?  Anymore details would be gratefully received at info@moretonmarine.co.uk.

Thank you 
Patrick.
