Lunderston Bay























A winter walk along Lunderston Bay,cold and crisp with beautiful blue winter skys and snow on the distant hills.
The paths and fields were flooded with sea water from the previous nights high winds,meanwhile sheep pulled hay from the cages and Canada geese fed on insects from the winter fields,a lone heron stood rooted at the shore line looking for a catch.

KML’s heavy lift crane barge BD6072




























KML, working for the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB), successfully salvaged fishing vessel Louisa. The 15m fishing boat sank off Mingulay in the Outer Hebrides and was after dive inspections and lift preparations  raised by KML’s heavy lift crane barge BD6072. The Louisa was transported on deck of the BD6072 and lifted ashore at Clydebank for further investigations by the MAIB.
The wreck of the Louisa SY30 can be seen in the background of Rothesay Dock.Sadly three crew members died,with one man managing to swim ashore.
