BA 220, (Spindrift) Prawn Trawler tied up in Girvan Harbour. Built: Launched on 22 August 1974 by Alexander Noble & Sons Ltd in Girvan, Scotland (a respected local boatyard known for building sturdy wooden or composite fishing vessels). The prefix BA is for the port of Ballantrae down the coast. Despite many searches I am unable to find any information as to the cause of the damage, electrical or engine I would guess, however lack of news or search engine information would indicate no injuries were sustained! Hopefully a HFF and good weekend to all

The breakwater at Ballantrae on the South Ayrshire Coast, with waves rolling into the bay from the Firth of Clyde, A large view please and HWW!

The town end of the large harbour at Girvan, South Ayshire, showing the trawler Argonaut on the shipyard slipway, and the RNLI lifeboat mooring center of image. The spire on the left is the North Parish Church and the right hand tower is Stumpy Jail, it was built in 1827. It has survived 2 World Wars and is still standing as a tribute to the craftsmanship of its Victorian Builders. In 16.9 format therefor a large view will probably be required for detail, HFF and a good weekend.

The wooden trawler "Freebird" under extensive overhaul at Alexander Noble & Sons Limited, Girvan, Scotland, Unable to find any information on the trawler so she may have had a name change. The River in the foreground is "Girvan Water" and the image is taken form a pontoon adjacent to the Lifeboat Station. HFF and a good weekend to everyone. A large view may be better and see pip for a closer view.

Just two heads appear over the shingle ridge on an overcast and windy day, Ballantrae Beach on the Ayrshire coast. Better large I think.

The Girvan all weather Shannon class Lifeboat " Elizabeth and Gertrude Allen" on her mooring, as the sky darkens and bad weather rolls in from the Firth of Clyde.
