ALL ABOARD! An Old Abandoned Boat Of Caol Ben Nevis & Yacht Found On A Scottish Beach

IN THIS VIDEO WE TAKE YOU ON A EXPLORE OF THE ABANDONED BOAT OF CAOL BEN NEVIS & YACHT ON SCOTTISH BEACH IN SCOTLAND.
HISTORY
The Old Boat of Caol is also known as the Corpach Shipwreck, or less recently as the MV Dayspring.
She was constructed in 1975 as a fishing boat with the intention of catching herring and mackerel.
She’s not been beached for too long, as her life at sea came to an end in 2011.
The Old Boat of Caol was torn from her mooring in Fort William by a ferocious storm, though she’s obviously not ready to be forgotten as the shipwreck has started to attract the odd visitor.
Regions of Scotland such as Orkney were said to be home to Britain’s ‘first farmers’ around 6,000 years ago and some historians suggest that these communities traded with their Scandinavian neighbours etc.
With an impressive coastline (and suitably impressive lighthouses to match) it makes sense that Scotland has many natural harbours that have made it an apt environment for boating and this includes the picturesque Corpach near Fort William in the Scottish Highlands.
With natural protection from the Corpach Basin, the site has played a crucial role over the years as a harbour during both the First and Second World War.
History truly comes to life, however, when we gaze upon the Corpach shipwreck or ‘Old Boat of Caol’ which can be found lying majestically - yet at an odd angle - by the shores of Loch Linnhe that are overlooked by Ben Nevis; the tallest mountain in the United Kingdom.
The Corpach Shipwreck is a former fishing boat that sits at an odd angle on the sands by Loch Linnhe.
The rusting remains of the 26 metre-long boat, which was once used to catch herring and mackerel in the North Sea, was discovered by residents of Caol in 2011.
As the wreck rests on the Caol side of the Caledonian Canal, it is often referred to as The Old Boat of Caol.
Specifically, however, it is a fishing vessel known as ‘MV Dayspring’ (later renamed ‘Golden Harvest’) that was first built in 1975 by J&G Forbes in Sandhaven, Aberdeenshire.
The boat’s historical career as a fishing vessel saw it shipped from Scotland to Kilheel in Northern Ireland where it remained in use. By 2001, it was returned to Scotland and moored at Kinlochleven Pier (which means ‘Head of Loch Leven’ in Scottish Gaelic) which is south-east of Fort William.
It remained here until 2009 and the boat owners had plans to convert it into a floating restaurant; the Scottish weather had other plans, however.
After the old fishing vessel was transported to Camusnagaul Bay on Loch Linnhe (via new owners) the “craft broke free from its mooring during the fierce storm” that hit in 2011, according to The Herald.
With support from the local coastguard, the vessel was guided to the beach, between Caol and Corpach village, where it has lain ever since.
