This is the last real activity on this part of Hayle harbour.
Corrections from a mate of mine ... She was Whitakers tanker CLYDE ENTERPRISE, 236grt 520dw, built by Harkers at Knottingley in 1958. She was sold in early 1996 to Scottish Aggregates Ltd, Bridge of Allan (Redland Group) and was shortened and converted at Dundee by Tayside Diesel Engineering Ltd into a sandsucker. On completion she was renamed TAYSAND, 150grt 280dw and operated by the Tay Sand Co Ltd, Perth. Under RMC Russell Ltd ownership she was laid up at Perth in early 00s. Currently appears to be working for DGW Sand Co Hayle.
