    Six weeks before the axe fell. Google hasn’t yielded much about the MV Victore lying at General Terminus Quay. There’s an Indian container ship company which uses the name for some of its vessels.
    Glasgow Herald, Saturday April 30th 1977. Notice how in those innocent days the papers routinely printed everyone’s full address.
    The Kelvinhaugh Ferry, which wasn’t withdrawn until 1980,  nosing into the north slip, on the outer arm of Yorkhill Quay. There’s a wonderful aerial photo on VirtualMitchell of the ferry approaching the slip, dwarfed by a huge liner (Clan Line?) berthed in the east basin. The ship lying at the quay this time is the MV Staffordshire, a 41,000 ton Liberian-registered bulk carrier belonging to the Bibby Line of Liverpool.

March 1977
