An old and venerable visitor turned up at Largs Pier last week in the shape of the puffer Vic 32, which has also been berthed at Millport in recent weeks.

More information about the ship’s restoration can be found online at savethepuffer.co.uk where you can follow the life and times of VIC 32 from 1943 to the present day, and the many adventures she has had along the way.
