    She went on to be renamed Walter Scott in 1946 - then Zafiro 1960, finally Oriental in 1961 before being scrapped in Hong King during 1963.

    Fascinated by this photo; I just discovered that my maternal grandfather was born in a house in the middle distance in 1892, about the time of this photo.

Refurbishing tug boats at Bill Quay

    This is ST-761, a US Army tug built in northern Alabama at Decatur in 1943. Sold to France Fenwick in 1950 as RYHOPE, she was sold again in 1970 to a Yugoslavian company as KASTOR. Scrapped 1986 at Split.

    It's amazing what can be found out ^^ If I remember correctly, the foundations for cranes and other yard equipment is still visible at the rivers edge there. Could well be from the same yard. Bill Quay hides some interesting secrets - some very dark ones too. I think I know where I'll be heading soon!
  • optimal chicken said:
    Edit; It is indeed this yard I was describing. Once the weather clears I'll grab some pics and explore the area..

    Easy to take this image for granted. But it would appear to have been taken from a boat, is in focus with a good acceptable depth of focus. Great shot. I was born in a house up the bank (not the one in the picture) and used to play around here. Fishing and hunting for crab bate. Those were the days.
