MFV 8 (Motor Fishing Vessel), built in Aberdeenshire in 1942 for war service, was acquired by the Sea Scouts in 1960 and renamed 'Morning Star' (although in 1965 it was re-named 'Tawe SA 55'). It took the scouts – ex-pupils of the De La Salle (Preparatory) School in Cardiff – on camping trips to Dale in Pembrokeshire, as seen here, and on an epic voyage to Dunmore East in Eire. Brother Alfred (Herbert Guilfoyle) was Head of the school and founder/leader of the troop.
