Old Photographs Tobermory Scotland
Old photographs of Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Scotland. Legend has it that the wreck of a Spanish galleon, laden with gold, lies somewhere in the mud at the bottom of Tobermory Bay, although the ship's true identity, and cargo, are in dispute. Due to similarities in sailing conditions, in the mid 1800s emigrant sailors created the community of Tobermory, located in Ontario, Canada. This namesake town has twin harbours, known locally as " Big Tub " and " Little Tub ", which sheltered ships from the severe storms of Lake Huron. During World War II, Tobermory was home to Royal Navy training base HMS Western Isles under the command of the legendary Vice-Admiral Sir Gilbert Stephenson.
