With MV Iona

The King George V approaching Gourock with the MV Iona in the foreground for a 1971 C.R.S.C. evening cruise.
This was 30 years ago, and I was only 11 but I remember it like yesterday. The weather was horrible as you can see, and the Iona had been trying to get alongside Gourock pier for ages, with little success
Along came the KGV and berthed first time, perfectly. I thought it was funny that a ‘new’ boat was so easily bettered by an ageing old lady.
