In the wake of the Waverely.

Having dwelt on the Waverely's trip to Tiree, my iamigination was cast back over the years, to when steam powder was still evident.
I was reminded of when the sturdy little coasters called "The Puffers" plied to all the islands of the west coast(I am sure, that all the blogging islands are aware of this too) An interisting period of carefree and happy days.
Tiree with no natural resources, that could be used as fuel depended entirely on importing its coal supplies. This was usually done in the early Summer months, by a fleet of these sturdy coal boats. And as I go back to when I was a boy, just over fifty years ago, they were steam driven.
And now to name a few of the romantic names they bore,such as: "Celt" "Dane" and "Anzac", all appropriate christenings for the hauliers of numerous materials into different inlets,bays and jetties.
More to follow,
Island Wanderer.
