Ship names, all our family boats started with the letter A apart from the Rosemount which was not built for me but as she was a lucky name and number for me I never got round to changing it . Ironicaly !ns 177 was later assigned to the Andromeda 11 (skipper Angus Davidson) whom I sold the original Andromeda to and like her predesessor she turned out to be one of the most succesful seine-net boats in Scotland. Contrary to local belief that it was after greek mythology name she was named, it was off a Long playing record ( now I am showing my age) by John Denver called " Farewell Andromeda" it just happened to fit in with the family tradition, he is still my favourite singer of all time and I twice had the privelige to see him perform live
