Subsequently sold for day cruising in the Greek Islands until 1993, she sank at her mooring in 2000. ==History== Built by William Denny and Brothers of Dumbarton, ''Claymore'' was launched in 1955.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Fleet - ''Claymore'' (II) )〕 She revived the name of an 1881 steamer, which had sailed for almost half a century between Glasgow and Stornoway.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History - ''Claymore'' (II) )〕 ''Claymore'' was the last major passenger vessel ordered by MacBraynes which was not a car ferry and entered service on the Inner Isles mail from Oban, replacing the elderly . On merger, in 1973, ''Claymore'' remained registered to David MacBrayne Ltd and never adopted the CalMac funnel. In April 1976, she was sold to Canopus Shipping of Piraeus, and left Scotland on 10 May, as ''City of Andros'', to join her ex-CSP consort ''City of Piraeus'' (ex-). After rebuilding in Greece, Claymore's name was changed again, to ''City of Hydra''. She was withdrawn around 1993 and laid up at Eleusis.
