HISTORICAL FACTS: Capsized greenock tugboat recovered from river clyde after salvage mission | History Defined

A tugboat that capsized in the River Clyde leading to the tragic deaths of two crew members has been recovered.

The crane ship Lara 1, from Liverpool, arrived in Greenock on Sunday morning to start a recovery mission as police also implemented a 200m exclusion zone and drone ban around the waters.

George Taft, 65, and Ian Catterson, 73, tragically lost their lives when the vessel sunk last month after the tug 'Biter' capsized off Custom House Quay in Greenock.
