MV Lochiel (1939)
MV ''Lochiel'' was the Islay mailboat operated by David MacBrayne Ltd from 1939 until 1970. Sinking in West Loch Tarbert in 1960, she was refloated and repaired. She became MacBrayne's last surviving mailboat, seeing out her life as a floating bar in Bristol.
==History==
''Lochiel'' was the first of two mailboats ordered in 1938; the second, was delayed until 1947.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History - Lochiel )〕 Built in 1939, she was the fourth MacBrayne's vessel named ''Locheil''. The earlier ''Locheil''s had been single-screw steamers, two serving Islay.〔
On 8 October 1960, ''Lochiel'' hit submerged rocks in West Loch Tarbert, Argyll and sank. She was raised by the salvage-tug ''Plantagenet'', and was out of service until the following March.〔 Liability for a car lost on this crossing was challenged in the courts, and decided in favour of the car owner by the House of Lords.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=8th October 1960 )〕
When replaced as the Islay mailboat in 1970, she was sold to Norwest Shipping Ltd, Douglas, Isle of Man. Re-fitted on the Mersey, she emerging as ''Norwest Laird'' and had a short career operating between Fleetwood and Douglas. The service was not a success and her operator went bankrupt in August 1970. Late in 1974, she was acquired by Courage (Western) Ltd and was towed to Hayle in Cornwall, to be renovated for use as a floating bar and restaurant in Bristol. Her engines were removed in 1975, but it was 1978 before she reached Bristol. As "Old Lochiel", she became a popular haunt and survived until 1994. In November 1995, she was sold for scrap and broken up at Bristol that December.
