Oceanic  INS 71


    Met a poor end  ;), engine removed at Dumbarton on the River Leven, towed as far as possible up the Leven as possible before being dumped in a mud hole to rot, about 4 miles if that from Loch Lomond. She used to site at Clynder in the Gareloch and we used to tie the Golden West to her at weekends on trips for a good nights quiet sleep that wasn't against a pier.

    She lay at garelochead for years owned by john allison who also had the golden dawn think about 50ft.I wondered where she ended up last i saw her was in rhu marina when john was using her for a bit of mooring work.
    Golden dawn remember throwing her over with the hand start usually started first turn which was just as well cause the handle didn't get a full turn cause of the floor not seen John for years.
