United States Lines cargo ship AMERICAN RANGER is shown as calling at Cairnryan, essentially a shipbreaking pier near Stranraer in Loch Ryan in South West Scotland. Does anyone have any thoughts as to why AMERICAN RANGER would call there, completely out of her way from Dublin to Glasgow.
Also while berthing at West Basin she fouled her port anchor and was unable to weigh it, and the anchor and approximately 23 fathoms of cable lay out overnight. At 0700 on 14th November AMERICAN RANGER hove astern in the berth and weighed anchor and re-berthed. |
