IMO: 5040421
Subsequent names: 1991 SWIFT - 1998 GREENWICH
As far as I have been able to establish she was still in service in 2007, but I don't know her eventual fate.

BEN GLAS was one of two side fishing trawlers built by John Lewis for Richard Irvin of Aberdeen. Operating out of their North Shields office, the other ship was BEN LORA (SN 40). They worked North Sea fisheries landing at Shields Market. BEN GLAS was sold in 1991 to Cavenhart Ltd, North Shields and renamed SWIFT. In 1998 she was sold to Sealskill Ltd, L & S Management Ltd, Falmouth and renamed GREENWICH, fishing number FH 673. Still registered in Lloyd's in 2006.

Owners in 2004 were L & J Management Limited. Lower Ground Floor, Unit 2.2. Penryn IR10 8LR Later of Office 3, Anchor Warehouse, Anchor Quay, Penryn, Cornwall.

Current pictures of Penryn do not indicate any vessels that match her description.
