Greenock tugboat salvage mission gets underway to raise sunken ship after tragedy

A salvage effort started this morning to raise a tugboat that capsized in the River Clyde leading to the tragic deaths of two crew members.

George Taft, 65, and Ian Catterson, 73, perished when the vessel sunk in Greenock last month, with their bodies since recovered from the boat.

The crane ship Lara 1 arrived in Greenock from Liverpool this morning, March 12, to recover the boat, with police also implementing a 200m exclusion zone and drone ban around the waters.
