Don’t know if Aberdeen is same today, but always used to wonder how in and out had to take a pilot, but once in could shift ship around the harbour ad lib with permission from port control channel 12 vhf. When shifting had to be on best behaviour as knew they were watching from the office windows in Seaforth. Cheers JWS.
    Hello again John. You are right it's the upper dock. I also have a postcard of the Victoria Dock showing a buoy I think it would the 50/60's. Waterloo Quay to the right. Times are really changing here they are building a new harbour round the Girdleness headland in the Bay of Nigg, I think they are after cruise ships and the decommissioning of offshore installations.
    Regards Bill
