This image of the Grab Suction Dredger Shearwater has been heavily cropped and processed in order to increase her size on the photograph, because when I captured the image in June 2017 Shearwater was a long way away from my position on a Red Funnel car and passenger ferry. The image shows shearwater out of the water undergoing major repairs to her hull at a shipyard located on Southampton Water Southampton, not far from the Hampshire village of Hythe. The 342 Gross Ton Shearwater was Built in Aberdeen Scotland in 1968 and was was Registered in the United Kingdom with the Home Port of Leith. At the time this image was captured, Shearwater was 49 years old.
