The ferry `Loch Seaforth` which sank beside Gott Bay pier in 1973.
As a young RAF rigger I travelled from Mallaig to Stornoway in 1962 and quite enjoyed the trip.
It wasn’t until much later that I discovered that the ferry Loch Seaforth had bounced off most of the rocks in the Hebrides before finally sinking off Tiree.
It couldn’t happen now – could it?
