The Sugar Boat as captured by Andrew Clark in 2018 IT has been almost half a century since the MV Captayannis capsized in the Firth of Clyde - and amateur photographers and videographers have been fascinated by the sunken ship ever since. Commonly referred to as the sugar boat , the rusting vessel lies on a sandbank and has become a landmark for residents on both sides of the water, in Helensburgh and Greenock. Drone footage captured by the brilliantly-named Hovering Scotsman, and published on YouTube, shows the wreckage in its decaying state in 2019, and we thought we d dredge our own archives for a look back at the history of the famous shipwreck.
