Title
Malcolm Miller
Description
This photograph shows the ship the Malcolm Miller docked in Aberdeen Harbour with a crew onboard. The boat is moored at Jamieson's Quay in the Upper Dock. The Harbour Office on Regent's Quay and the tower of the Citadel at Castlegate can be seen in the background. The Malcolm Miller was a schooner built by John Lewis & Sons Ltd. for the Sail Training Association. It was a 300-ton vessel with a sail area of over 7000 square foot and had engine propulsion for use in narrow waters. The ship's launch on 5th October 1967 was reported in the <i>Evening Express</i> newspaper of that day. The Malcolm Miller was officially launched by Lady Miller, and it was named after the late son of Sir James, former provost of Edinburgh, and Lady Miller. During its time as a Sail Training Association vessel the Malcolm Miller provided nautical experiences to many youngsters. It had a sister ship called the Sir Winston Churchill. The vessel has an entry on <a href="http://www.aberdeenships.com/" target="_blank">the Aberdeen Built Ships website</a> that details its later history. This image comes from a collection of slides donated to Aberdeen City Libraries by Aberdeen City Council's publicity department.
