BA 382 Venture on the repair slipway at Macduff, May 1988. Note the unsupported trestles and unguarded platforms used by the painters. Health and Safety has changed a lot since 1988, and work done today uses much safer access lifts and scaffolding. Note also the difference in design for Venture, built in 1958 – small wheelhouse and open deck working compared to Laurel above, with a large wheelhouse to accommodate modern electronics and full shelter for crew working on deck |
