Old Photograph Clyde Puffer Harbour Brodick Island Of Arran Scotland

Old photograph of a Clyde puffer in the harbour at Brodick on the Isle of Arran, Scotland. The Clyde puffer is essentially a type of small steamboat which provided a vital supply link around the west coast and Hebrides islands of Scotland, stumpy little cargo ships that have achieved almost mythical status thanks largely to the short stories Neil Munro wrote about the Vital Spark and her captain Para Handy.
