Find info on an old vessel?

[Tim Good]

I’m trying to find details of an old pilot cutter built approx in the 50s or 60s and operated from Spern Point. It was called the “John Good”.

I heard it was taken to whitby as a fishing vessel once. Anyway does anyone know where I might start to look for details?

Thanks

For what it's worth, there's no John Good in the 1974 edition of Lloyd's Register of Yachts.

Ferries Across the Humber

We had many happy pints of beer on the Lincoln Castle, while she was tied up in Grimsby as a pub. 1989 ish.
The engine room was unmolested.
Sadly she was needlessly scrapped with much justified outrage from old ship enthusiasts.

I am so old I can remember crossing the Humber in her!

Pity she could not have been saved, she would have been a good visitor attraction or, even better, used for river trips.

Wasn't there an old sea school owner and erstwhile yottie journo built approx in the 50s or 60s.....? He - or she, or they - was called 'John Good'.
I have no sepia print photo to offer.
