Large crane to assist in the construction work at Brodick pier.

From "The Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald" dated Friday 16th January 1970

WORK BEGINS AT PIER

A large crane is being towed to Brodick Pier on board a raft on Sunday morning.
The crane, which should arrive at Ardrossan harbour on Saturday, will be used for the construction work involved in the building of the pier at Brodick to cope with the new car ferry which will come into operation in the spring.

A Glasgow firm have commenced quarrying operations at Brodick for the 30,000 tons of rock needed for the construction of the pier.
The introduction of the new ferry will depend on the progress of the pier work.
