"Sir Walter Scott"

The SS Sir Walter Scott is a historic steamship that has been operating on Loch Katrine in the scenic Trossachs region of Scotland since 1900,
Built in 1899 by William Denny and Brothers in Dumbarton (with the engine by Matthew Paul & Co.), the ship was constructed as a "knock-down" vessel: assembled for trials on the Clyde, then dismantled, transported by barge up Loch Lomond, hauled overland by horse-drawn carts, and reassembled on the shores of Loch Katrine before launching in 1900.
She measures about 110 feet (34 m) long, with a beam of 19 feet (5.8 m) and 115 gross register tons. (Grok)

HFF and a great weekend to all, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Large view recommended!

This ship was built a few hundred yards from where I live, Roger. One of my pals once worked onboard. All the best, Joe
