Photograph of the ferry `Claymore` with its tender alongside in 1973
Colour photograph of the ferry `Claymore` with its tender alongside. In 1973, the ferry `Loch Seaforth` sank next to Gott pier after hitting rocks in Gunna Sound. Until it was refloated, the `Claymore` could not berth alongside the pier and so passengers were transferred from/to the ferry by motor launch. Cargo and livestock was taken on the smaller cargo ship `Glencloy` which could berth between the sunken ferry and the pier.

Photograph of the flight crew of air-collision Halifax during WWII
Black and white photograph of the crew of one of the Halifax aircraft of 518 Squadron, RAF Tiree, that collided in mid-air over Tiree on 16 August 1944 with the loss of both air crews. Back row L-R: Sgt “Bill” Graham, Arthur Marshall, “Norm” Power, “Warny” Creswell. Front row L-R: F/O “Harry” Oates, F/lt “Bill” Kemp, F/O K W Organ (donor`s father), F/O “Johnny ” Peterson. The photo was probably taken at RAF Brawdy in Pembrokeshire before their posting to Tiree. Kemp and Power did not follow the rest of the crew to Tiree, but were instead replaced by P/O BW Smith and Sgt PG Smith (not photographed). The accident happened only six days after they arrived on the island.
