VIC 32 - Clyde Puffer

VIC 32 is our last seagoing coal fired steam 'Clyde Puffer'.

Built in 1943 she is well known on the West Coast of Scotland.

Today I was very privileged to be invited aboard - and of course took the opportunity to get a few images.

VIC 32 - Puffer - Helensburgh

A real step back in time this afternoon as I witnessed the VIC 32 'Puffer' departing Helensburgh pier.

As was the way today - it was a downpour. Lovely Scottish Spring weather.
