Donaldson Line’s COLINA and her voyage 37 in 1965

Captain W. F. Joyce, Master.

6 July at Glasgow.   Port bunker top half bulkhead distorted.   Reported by Master 6 July.

27 July at 1645.   Left Toronto for Quebec.

29 July at 1232.   Arrived Quebec.

31 July at 1645.   Left Quebec for Tighnabruaich, which is a tiny, remote Highland village in the Kyles of Bute, Firth of Clyde.

9 August at 0720.   Arrived Tighnabruaich.

9 August at 1600.   Left Tighnabruaich for Glasgow.

9 August at 2125.   Arrived Glasgow and ended voyage 37.

   The burning question for the entries for 9 August is why on earth would the ocean-going cargo liner COLINA call at Tighnabruaich for 9 hours.  

   The one-road village is amazingly small and strung out along a remote coastline, and has a small wooden pier which is occasionally used in the summer months by the excursion passenger vessels on the Clyde. There is no industry and certainly no Customs or Immigration and no Dock labour force.  The village has a population of around 200 people.

   And, more pointedly, Tighnabruaich is situated in a narrow strait of water well off the shipping channel which ocean vessels would use on entering and leaving the Clyde.
