Old Photograph Mail Steamer Castlebay Island Of Barra Scotland

Old photograph of the mail steamer Lochearn arriving at Castlebay on the Island of Barra, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. MV Lochearn was the David MacBrayne Limited mail steamer serving Tobermory, Coll, Tiree, Barra and South Uist until 1955 when she was replaced by MV Claymore. From 1955 to 1964, she sailed from Tobermory to Oban with calls at Salen, Lochaline and Craignure. With the introduction of the 1964 hoist-loading car ferries, Hebrides, Clansman and Columba, Lochearn became redundant. She and her sister Lochmor were sold to Greek owners on 26 August 1964 and left Scotland for service in the Greek Islands. In Greece, she was converted to a private motor yacht. It is believed she was broken up in January 1975.
