Aye, a bonnie wee ship. Only the 'Fingal' is left in British waters, but for how long?
Would be great if the Transport Museum in Glasgow could buy her as a museum piece, and moor her alongside the Museum Quay (when it's built) with the Glenlee and Waverley.

The only thing that spoils these ships is the addition of the deck crane. I always used to admire "Pharos" but when they got rid of the wee jumbo and added the crane she certainly lost something. No doubt the job must have been made a lot easier for the crowd though.
