Dickkie's Boatyard Winch, Tarbert

Across the harbour Tarbert Castle Ruins with the town below again form a backdrop to another archive image.

Dickkie's Boatyard Winch, Tarbert,
This winch stands in mute testimony to Dickie's Boatyard which was demolished in 2010. The winch drew so much power that the lights throughout Tarbert dimmed when it was in operation

Estas piezas museísticos en la calle me gustan, también las veo por aquí; por ejemplo, en las afueras del Museo Marítimo de Bilbao o en las cercanías del Puente Colgante de Bizkaia. Son adecuadas para nuestra generación, pero más necesarias aun a nuestros nietos

In these days of robots, computers, micro this and that, it is good to be reminded of the heavy industry this country was built on. Have a good weekend, Roger.
