by the way big alan she was tt72 what happened to venture
The Venture was owned by Charlie Woods and kept within 100yards of the Golden West in the river Leven at Dumbarton. She was never converted, then sold out of the river when she got too big for Charlie to handle on her own. I will ask my brother where she went I think he knows. Would be greatly if anyone had more pictures of the West at Tarbert. I had great times there in my younger days going out with Doods and Paul on the Utopia and Brilliant Star
