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.

Colour photograph of a bull in a crate being hoisted by crane from Gott pier to the cargo vessel `Glencloy` in 1973. The ferry could not berth alongside the pier at that time because of obstruction caused by the `Loch Seaforth` which had sunk alongside the pier as a result of hitting rocks in Gunna Sound.
Photograph of the flight crew of air-collision Halifax during WWII

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.
