45p - MFV EDINBURGH at Anchor by Shannon Swain aged 13
Shannon: "I chose to draw a picture of the MFV EDINBURG being offloaded because it is a very important vessel to the island bringing us many supplies."
The MFV EDINBURGH is one of two vessels operated by the fishing factory owners; Ovenstone Agencies. The other is the MFV GEO SEARCHER. Between them, they make nine return voyages per year between Cape Town, South Africa and Tristan da Cunha, carrying passengers, cargo and mail, and undertaking fishing operations. The drawing shows the MFV EDINBURG at anchor off the settlement – EDINBURGH of the Seven Seas - with the motorised raft transporting cargo into Calshot Harbour. The building behind the ship is St Mary's School, and the building to its right is the Residency.
