Glasgow And Ships Of The Clyde

Small motor cruiser LADY A leaving James Watt Dock Basin, Greenock on 1 April 2025

LADY A had left the James Watt Dock Marina and was heading out of the Dock Basin when .... suddenly, unexpectedly ..... her engine stopped and she came to a halt. 

   This induced some comment from a group of photographers who were congregated at the knuckle of the Dock to view WAVERLEY entering the Garvel Drydock.

   Picture the scene.    The motor cruiser stationary in the middle of the Basin, her one-man crew apparently working to get moving again, and ahead was the large cargo ship ECO TRINITY and tug ANGLEGARTH passing on their way upriver to Glasgow and behind LADY A were two tugs CMS WRESTLER and CMS BRUISER who were leaving the very close-nearby Drydock after docking WAVERLEY.

   LADY A was in a rather unhappy and tricky position, being the tasty meat / filling in a mobile maritime sandwich.

Thankfully after a couple of minutes her engine started and she left the scene.
