View from the bridge of the MV Rothesay Castle, Ardnave Point above Eilean Beag in middle of picture.
A rare sight indeed, a close up of Ardnave Point on Islay from the bridge of a 7016 grt cargo liner. We have just updated the page on the loss of the Rothesay Castle which now includes pictures of the vessel ashore. The pictures were taken in June 1940 when the wreck was visited by representatives of W.H. Arnott Young, ship breakers based in Dalmuir. To view the additions please follow the following link Rothesay Castle
The SS Floristan, broken in two, north point, Kilchiaran Bay.
