SS 'Celt' is another of the larger VICs which entered commercial service post-war. After her life as VIC 64 she was first 'Fishervic' in Barrow before reappearing as 'Celt' on the Clyde in 1954. She was badly damaged when grounded at Annalong in County Down six years later, but was refloated and sold on to an Irish firm before moving to Cornwall: a picture of her in rather a sorry state with a different wheelhouse and almost certainly as a motor rather than a steam vessel at Bude exists from 1983, and evidence suggests she was scrapped there soon after.
My choice of 'Celt' came about because one of her crew in 1954 had a camera and took a roll of her day to day life. The spool was never processed at the time and lay forgotten for half a century before being rediscovered and developed. The shots can now be found online at
