This is a series of pics taken in May 1966 from an old ciny-film my father took when he was mate on the Spartan it was the last puffer load of coal to be beached at Iona a pier was built shortley after this
great set of pictures robert some history in those
Thanks Jammy
Always wondered how the hold floor stood up to getting that weight dropped on it.Was it 15 or 16 tons in each wagonload or thereabouts ? Didnae take long to fill them at that rate anyway.Very good set of photos Robert.

brilliant set of pictures, would love to see the film too if it ever gets transferred to video or whatever - possibly know someone who does it if you want it doing
got a colour postcard of Spartan unloading on Iona somewhere, will go try find it
