Kingston Dock
Puffer 'S S Glenaray' berthed in Kingston Dock in 1958, alongside the swing bridge that carried a road across the entrance. This boat was built by R. Dunston at Thorne in 1944 as 'VIC 89'. She was sold by the Ministry to Hamilton & McPhail in 1947 becoming the 'Glenaray'. In 1956 she laid the inshore cable of the first Trans-Atlantic voice cable in the Sound of Kerrera as the main cable laying ship was too large for those waters. She was scrapped in 1964. The quaysides of the Kingston Dock were not rail served, except for a short portion by this crane reached by one of the General Terminus sidings. Photo by G H Robin.
