Paddle Steamer - "William Muir" - at Granton Harbour Horses being loaded up for manoeuvres |
|
This postcard shows the old
paddle steamer, William Muir, at Granton Harbour. This postcard was
posted on 14 July 1905. |
|
The postcard contains an interesting message: - The first line of the message appears to be the next move in a game of chess. - The rest of the message reads: "Ferry boat at Granton, horses being loaded up for manoeuvres. Went to Tantallon Castle yesterday. T.L.W." |
|
The "William Muir" underwent a complete refurbishment in 1910, during which one of its two funnels was removed. Here is a view of the "William Muir" with a single funnel, taken at Burntisland probably around 1910. |
