The Otter Bank returns to Orkney

Willie Groat is pictured on Hatston Slip with the former bank boat Otter Bank which he served onboard in the North Isles in the 1960's, before the inter-isles air service was used.

She is to be restored and maybe even put back in the water as part of the Orkney Boat Museum project.
Taken on Monday 25th June.

Click to View shows the same boat being launched on the 19th May 1926. See also picture #951 and picture #298 .
