“MV JUPITER”
One of the the CalMac Fleet
The Original MV Jupiter was built in 1974 at Lamont & Co. Ltd at Port Glasgow. she had a capacity to carry 38 Cars and 531 passengers.
She had many routes, travelling between the Clyde ports of Gourock, Dunoon, Wemyss Bay, Rothesay, Largs, Millport Tighnabruaich, Coulport and Tarbert. Sadly she retired and was eventually scrapped in Holland in 2011.
The RC version, seen in the picture was built by a former member of the club, Bill Muray and can be seen sailing regularly by her present owner at the dam.
