On the 10th January 2019 an attempt was made to bring the Paddle Steamer Maid of the Loch out of the water for the first time since 2006, only the second time in 40 years!
An independent investigation will be carried out to ascertain what went wrong with the slipping.
The Loch Lomond Steamship Company-the charity that owns the ship- have £1 million still to spend and getting her out of the water and examining the hull was just a small fraction of that money.
The majority of the money will still be spent on refurbishing the ship, doing up the engines and getting them working again at the pier with steam supplied by a package boiler.
