Eilean Musdile lighthouse being re-supplied by helicopter from NLV Pharos
Eilean Musdile lighthouse being re-supplied by helicopter from NLV Pharos
The Pharos was actually underway (not anchored to the seabed) whilst re-supplying the lighthouse, near the lighthouse the tidal streams can be quite strong, but she was holding her position by using her azimuth propellers (these are propellers that can be rotated around a vertical axis and provide thrust in various directions).
