MV Cowal
MV ''Cowal'' was a hoist-loading vehicle ferry introduced by Caledonian Steam Packet Company in 1954. She spent the whole of her 24 years with Calmac on the Upper Clyde crossings. ==History== MV ''Cowal'' was the second of a trio of vehicle vessels ordered in 1951 to modernise the Clyde fleet. Three "general purpose" vessels were planned for the Clyde routes of their names, , and MV ''Cowal''. Built by Ailsa Shipbuilding Company, ''Cowal'' was launched at Troon on 20 January 1954.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History - MV Cowal )〕 On 1 January 1973, the Caledonian Steam Packet Co. and MacBrayne fleets combined under one management. ''Cowal'' was the last vessel to receive the new CalMac livery, retaining the vivid CSP yellow funnel until 1974.〔 After 24 years' service, she was laid up in East India Harbour, Greenock from early June 1977. Surviving a galley-fire on 9 June, she was moved to the James Watt Dock in 1978 and offered for sale. Increasingly forlorn and "cannibalised" for parts to keep ''Arran'' running, ''Cowal'' was finally sold to Phetouris Ferries in Greece on 5 January 1979, and left under tow for Perama on 15 May. Despite the tow parting in the Bay of Biscay, she arrived in Piraeus, and was advertised, as ''Med Star'', to take up service across the southern Adriatic, from Otranto to Igoumenitsa. Phetouris died in 1983 and his vision for the former ''Cowal'' and was never progressed. ''Med Star'' was sold for scrap in December 1983, and broken up the following year.〔
