Don't want to keep this topic off-topic for too long but I'm afraid the answer's NO!. Why? you may ask. Well don't women always say that are able to multi-task anyway? :? It would be like trying to teach one's grandmother to suck eggs. :D

I do realise that, of course. And - there are some fellas who have it all themselves - or just leave it, as the case may be!

In my OP - I referred to a Fishing Smack in the film. I've found a bit more info about the boat - assuming I got the number right! :D

The name of the Fishing Smack - LT 293 - was “Gleam”. It is listed in “Flood’s List of Fishing Vessels, 1912” as being a Trawler of 54 tons; built in 1903, and owned by W. H. Podd of Kirkley.
