Guanabara

In the 1970s, Upper Clyde Shipbuilders at their Govan yard built 3 dredgers, a departure for this yard but encompassing skills from employees of the former Simons-Lobnitz yard at Renfrew, specialists in this field.
The dredgers were DELTA BAY, PACIFIQUE and GUANABARA. The latter was built for service in Brazil and this is a shot of her launch at Govan on 15th May 1972.
She is still in service first as ESTADO DA GUANABARA and DRAGA COPACABANA
