Title: ‘Auld Reekie’ at Crinan
On a visit to my nephew and niece last summer I came across this old Puffer at Crinan Boatyard which was at the back of their garden. I have made many drawings and some paintings inspired by this wonderful old boat. Although they are known as Clyde Puffers I believe that some of these were built in Yorkshire and Lancashire as part of the war effort. ‘VIC 32’ was actually built by Dunston’s of Thorne, Yorkshire in November 1943 as part of the war effort! Although these boats are known collectively as Clyde Puffers I think this boat was built at Row Hedge Iron Works.
