Report on storm Babet in Granton Harbour
Report on storm Babet in Granton Harbour
In 2012, before I became involved with Granton Harbour, there was a strong Easterly storm that is still talked about. It washed a number of boats on swinging moorings in the West Harbour onto the shore. Many were badly damaged, some sunk. It was said to be a “30 year storm”. In November 2021, the named storm Arwen put at least two boats on the breakwater and damaged many others. It also finally sunk the yacht Runagate, originally owned by the author Nevil Shute and in very poor repair, in the West harbour.
