A few shots from earlier today. Taken whilst working down that way. This is Garvel drydock getting her new gates fitted. A great sight to see after Garvel secured a new 30 year lease on the dry dock. Here's hoping the new gates are kept busy. I don't know the history behind the tower in the background. Any info would be welcome. I noticed a date of 1871 engraved in the stone work.
A closer view of the new gates being positioned.
Calmac's car ferry SATURN alongside Garvel's repair yard. WARRIOR III and SVITZER MALLAIG at home in James Watt dock (JWD).
Looking at the same scene from the other end of the dock. SATURN at Garvel and Svitzer at home. More info on SATURN can be Read Here.
SVITZER MALLAIG and AYTON CROSS at the Svitzer base in JWD. Also ROVER and other small craft alongside.
