Aberdeen - 13 August 1970:

About this, I commented on TEESSHIPS: This is one of those "I'm glad I took it" shots - one of the few I could record that day in the extensive but cluttered line-up along the quayside.

Great record of those days Ron, fishing rather than oil support! I walked those quays in June 1968 on my 'Morris Minor Tour de Scotland', plenty of names recorded but alas no camera!

Yes, I jotted down the names of about 40 trawlers, but could photograph only two of them!
