A Paisley-built floating crane which travelled thousands of miles to New Zealand is undergoing a transformation as it prepares to mark its 100th anniversary.
In 1926, the Hikitia vessel set off on the almost 10,000 nautical mile journey across the Atlantic and Indian oceans.
The hull of the unique ship was built by Fleming and Ferguson in their Phoenix Works in the town and the crane was built by Houston engineer Sir William Arrol and Co. of Glasgow.
