Deutschland

Departing Greenock ocean terminal yesterday was Deutschland , as the name would suggest she is a German cruise ship,built in 1994 for Peter Deilmann Cruises.

The ship received a lot of indirect publicity in late July 2000 with the crash of the Concorde supersonic jet liner. All of the passengers on the ill-fated Concorde that crashed just outside Paris were on a Peter Deilmann charter on their way to New York. They had planned to embark on a cruise on the Deutschland.

These photographs are especially for the charming lady I met on Lyle Hill,who was on holiday from Wales.

The ferry is popular with tourists in the summer months,Kilcreggan offers enjoyable walks and superb views of Loch Long and the Firth of Clyde.

The ferry is also a vital link for people who work for the Ministry of Defence at Coulport,without the ferry they would face an arduous journey round the Rosneath Peninsula.
