The Old Leith Harbour Mooring

As we are working on the mooring system, HMS Northumberland passes by on exercise. Leith Harbour is just behind the Northumberland's bow.

While grappling for the mooring anchor chains we bring up debris from the sea bed. Here we have wire hawsers and armoured bunkering hose that must have been on the sea bed for forty years or more.
