MV Sound of Gigha

MV ''Sound of Gigha'' was a pioneering roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) ferry operating on the west coast of Scotland. She was launched as ''Isle of Gigha'' in May 1966. On 11 November 1966, she capsized off Islay. Salvaged, overhauled, and renamed, she provided thirty years of service between Islay and Jura.
==History==
Oban civil engineer and merchant seaman John Rose and Gavin Hamilton, a Lanarkshire landscape gardener recognised that the future of inter-island ferry trade was for freight to be carried by lorries loaded onto a ro-ro ship. This was not being developed by Caledonian MacBrayne. The pair obtained a grant from the Highlands and Islands Development Board and ordered a landing craft type ferry from the Thames Launch Works, who subcontracted work to Bideford Shipyard. In February 1966, with Chris Pollock, an Argyll businessman, they formed Eilean Sea Services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Eilean Sea Services: The Capsize of The 'Isle of Gigha' - November 11, 1966 )
Building progressed rapidly. The ferry was launched as ''Isle of Gigha'' and handed over to the owners in May 1966, despite problems with the performance and stability trials. She completed her delivery voyage from Bideford to Loch Sween without event. In service, beach landings, sometimes in gale force winds, took a heavy toll on the hull, resulting in shell fractures and jamming of the port rudder. Water leaked into the after-peak and the engine room.〔
