    The Maid was on the Balloch Slipway

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balloch_Steam_Slipway

    Which was built by the Joint Committee to service the railway fleet on the Loch.

    I sailed on the Maid on her last year in service, a delightful little (OK in UK Inland Waterway terms very big) ship and I look forward to see her sailing again.
