A pal of a sailor who died when his tugboat capsized in the Firth of Clyde has paid tribute to "a very good seaman and great friend".
George Taft, of Greenock, was one of two crewmen who died when tugboat Biter overturned as it escorted a cruise ship into harbour in the Inverclyde town on Friday. A massive search and rescue operation was launched on Friday, with the bodies of Mr Taft and another crew member discovered by police divers on Saturday.
Retired seaman Kenny Kemp, who worked with George at another maritime firm in Wales, was among those to pay tribute to his fellow sailor. He told the Record: "I have a lot of memories of George – a very good seaman and great friend.
