The Vital Spark - Not Quite

Just managed to catch the 'Vic32' puffer as she came past Port Glasgow on my way home.

Fortunate to get a bit of good light too.

It's great that she still sails the Clyde and a great reminder of our past heritage when the puffers plied their trade around our coastline.
