Pioneer and Hebrides lye in James Watt Dock Glasgow in
March 2004. The 1974 built Pioneer is mothballed at this time awaiting her
uncertain future while the 2000 built Hebrides receives her annual
overhaul.

The 1947 Waverley watches on as the 1974 Pioneer draws
away from Rothesay pier one summers day on a regular service run to Wemyss
Bay. The Waverly is the only remaining sea going paddle steamer left in
the world.
Passing each other in Loch Broom are the 1974 built Suilven and
her modern replacement, the 1995 built Isle of Lewis. This
picture was taken on the Suilven s last day in service heading back down
to Ullapool from Stornoway.

A rare snapshot into time in this picture. Berthed at Oban are the 1979 Lochmor, 1957
Glen Sannox and 1978 Claymore.
The 'Galloping Glen' is on the Craignure ferry to Mull, the Claymore is
loading for Barra and the western Isles and the Lochmor appears to be on a
visit from Skye.
The shape of things to come...? The 1974 Pioneer rests in JWD,
Glasgow while the chartered Blue Funnel line catamaran AliCat
takes a break off from the Gourock - Dunnon run.
