STS "JEAN DE LA LUNE"

transiting the Caledonian Canal

The photos were taken during a Caledonian Canal passage in May 2005. I was the bosun then. The ship had been laid up during winter in Leith where I joined in March to get her shipshape for the summer season. After 6 weeks of intensive sanding and painting we delivered her to West Coast of Scotland to start tours with passengers there. I left the ship shortly afterwards due to differences with the owner who was also the skipper. By the end of the summer she returned to Leith and was laid up again and was put up for sale. It lasted about 10 years until she found a new owner who now operates her in the Canary Inslands.
