Detail

There is a lot out there about the process of the stealing of the ship its travels and the eventual ironic wrecking. Hope someone else can find the details/refs :) Satu Suro 06:08, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edit help please.

I corrected the reason the Dingwall and Skye Railway originally bought the ship, but I don't know how to add the citation. If someone who knows how sees this could they add the citation in its correct format. The information came from John Roake's article "The Highland Railway Boat and Steamer Fleets", page 620of the magazine Backtrack, volume 38, #10, October 2024.
