| Earl Grey Dock with ships of the Royal Naval Reserve. The old swimming baths are on the left of the photograph astern of the wooden walled frigate HMS UNICORN and the Coastal Minesweeper in the centre of the picture would have been named HMS MONTROSE while attached to the RNR. It would seem to be M1175 HMS WISTON and was unusual at that time in having an enclosed bridge. The ship inboard was not sea-going - PHOTOs Ronald MacLean | ||
