Scottish Maritime Museum

The 'Kyles' afloat at Irvine in 2017, although she is now ashore for remedial work. She is described by the Maritime Museum as the oldest Clydebuilt vessel afloat. I have repeatedly pointed out that she was built in Paisley at J. Fullerton & Co's Merksworth Yard, and that is nowhere near the Clyde but on the River White Cart. The message never gets through. Built as a steamer in 1872 and then operated as a motor vessel from 1945.
