Boats moored in Wyre Dock at Freeport. The fishing vessel in the middle is "Ardent", WK55, which sailed out of Wick in the 1950s and 60s. One time used as a houseboat on the river Ness, it was for sale at Muirtown Basin Image, Inverness in January 2011. A closer view is on Ships Nostalgia website http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/ (No direct link alas as the galleries are only viewable by registered users.) I'm informed that it was built by Walter Reekie, Fife in 1934.
