Landing craft


An (as yet) unidentified landing craft captured at Largs Pier April 2007. An unusual visitor shot by ClydeNavalGazing correspondent Neil Robertson.

Daring


Daring lies off Largs with Cruiser in attendance as Caledonian Macbrayne's Loch Shira passes on service 23 April 2008. A smashing shot from the gloom provided by ClydeNavalGazing correspondent Neil Robertson.

General K. Pulanski


Polish guided missile frigate General K. Pulanski (ex USS Clark) heads back to Faslane 24 April 2008. HMS Walney (?) in the background. [Edit] The commentator is completely correct (thanks!), it is Minna! In my own defence, I didn't even see the boat, but the camera did![/Edit]

Multicat


Northern Marine's Multicat working in Clyde Marina, Ardrossan 23 April 2008. I cannot believe that they are seriously going to extend the main pontoon to that length! It is also the local gossip that the adjacent tanker berth is to be transformed into more Marina space!

Cruiser
