According to Peter McLean: “Mr. McQueen, on the left, was one of the keepers and was noted for his ability to sail a motorboat under any weather or inebriate condition. I speak from experience. Various times he had to abandon “ship” and swim for the shore after a wee visit to Millport, when the weather was a bit rough. However, it was also noted that he always found time (and presence of mind) to wrap his wallet etc. in oilskin before striking out for the shore. Donald, in the center, was a crewmember of the supply ship that did the rounds of all the Clyde Trust lighthouses. Stan, on the right, was a pal of mine, over on holiday. We were both keen, young athletes then and would run from one side of the island to the other.”
