RAYLIGHT was at the Coal Pier, Dunoon, discharging a cargo of coal (for the account of A Blackwood, Esq.) which she had brought from Troon. After discharging RAYLIGHT left for Glenarm in Northern Ireland to load a cargo of Limestone for Glasgow, but, owing to weather conditions in the North Channel, she had to divert to Campbeltown for shelter, and remained windbound in Campbeltown for six days before being able to continue on passage to Glenarm. |
