What was the ship/rig/dredger vessel going past Dounreay today around 06.45 onwards

[susie]

I would be interested if you can enlighten me. It was fairly shifting along and coming towards the coast, was it heading for Scrabster?

[XR2]

Try having a look at www.shipais.com it shows all the shipping currently and historically around the UK. I'd guess its the Innovation bound for Emeshaven...

[susie]

Thank you so much XR2.

What an excellent link you gave, and I am sure it was the Innovation.

Everytime I see a vessel from now on I will be dashing into the house to go on shipais.com! I'll never get any work done.

Cheers.

No, I can manage with one finger.

I've always been fascinated with boats and ships. When I was knee-high to a grasshopper I used to get taken out by the fishermen at Robin Hood's Bay. They once gave me a plaice to take home for my Grandma. I used to dig out a boat shape in the sand and 'row' all around an imaginery world! I've never really stopped travelling in my mind and all the ships that go past here send meoff on all sorts of journeys. Anyways, you make me laugh mi16.
