Fate of ship:
Unknown.
Additional information:
Scilly Girl was listed, despite a dearth of information, because of the obvious Kinsale associations. Sometimes such vessels are selected in full anticipation of encountering further perchance data. I continue to wait with Scilly Girl . The BT112/18 document suggests that Patrick Donovan was a fisherman and/or Scilly Girl was a fishing boat. However, Seaman Driscoll's BT112 information gives no suggestion that this same ship (Reg: 29.287) was a fishing vessel.
