PS Duchess of Fife
PS Duchess of Fife was a paddle steamer built in 1903 for the Caledonian Steam Packet Company. She spent most of her career serving passenger routes in the Firth of Clyde and was requisitioned for use as a minesweeper during both World Wars. In 1940 she took part in the Dunkirk evacuation, rescuing a total of 1,633 allied troops.
She was built at Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Govan, Glasgow, as Yard Number 432 and was launched on 9 May 1903.
She was sold for scrapping in September 1953 after 50 years of service.

Glen Sannox
After three weeks in dry dock the Glen Sannox was brought back to Ferguson Marine.
Despite all the controversy she now looks great and hopefully we can look forward to seeing her on sea trials soon.
