Adrift historic tug awaits rescue on Ardentinny sandbank

The Golden Cross this afternoon at low tide.

Vintage tugboat Golden Cross is this afternoon lodged on a sandbank off Ardentinny beach. The historic ship which has been moored off Ardentinny since April appears to have broken free from its mooring overnight and drifted towards the beach. According to a villager, an MOD police launch was seen in the vicinity of the marooned boat early this morning. See the LochLongCam.com webcam for latest live pictures.
