Astern Into her Berth

 

The dedicated Falkirk Wheel passenger barge 'Antonine' has just came off the state-of-the-art boat lift and wheeled round in a very tight space by the skipper with the aid of her bow and stern thrusters.

 

This modern boat lift replaced the eleven steps between the Forth & Clyde and Union Canals.
