Minerva  KY 305


    nice pic, was there another minerva before this at pittenweem ?
    wuwwie morris no longer with us used to love the yarns he would tell you he once told me if you dont like someone give them a boat never a truer word said  ???
    Ther was a 'Minerva ' came to Carradale in 1963  --KY  ?  bought by the Ram ( Colin Campbell o Waterfoot ) I believe she was the last boat through the Forth an Clyde canal  before it was closed -- wan hell o a trip through Glasgow constantlly lifting scrap  ( cars an such like ) tae make progress -- the focstle hatch was moved to the other side to let her ring net ower here .
    No Rad Its if you love someone buy them a boat if you hate them buy them 2 c&&ts
    The more I think about it,this is the original ky 305 minerva,in this pic painted blue was always black and with a different wheelhouse.

    This wheelhouse was put on the Minerva by McKays in Arbroath in the late seventies
