Stranraer Harbour

A rare visitor to Stranraer, the Clyde paddle steamer 'Caledonia', has arrived on a special charter, having sailed down the Ayrshire coast from Wemyss Bay. The date was 15th May 1965, the centenary of Wemyss Bay's opening. From the position of the bow rope, it looks as though the 'Caledonia' has begun canting round the end of the pier, so as to berth at the other side (see 82617) before heading back to the Clyde.
