Death of the Dayspring ..
The remains of the Dayspring. She was a 68ft. Net Trawler built in 1958 by Herdies. Decommissioned about 12 years ago and anchored up in Loch Diabaig, Wester Ross. Then a couple of years later she was blown ashore in a gale, coming to rest on Lower Diabaig beach more or less still in a reasonable condition until somebody thought it would be a good idea to set fire to her!! Most of the port side of the wooden hull was lost and the main deck, causing the steel wheelhouse to fall off... Sad to see her end her days in this way.... NOTE; Heavy rain when taking this shot.....
