This is a picture of the men unloading whisky from the Pibroch at Bunnahabhain Distillery on Islay in 1952.

This is a picture of the first Pibroch, which was built by Scotts of Bowling in 1923. She was commissioned by the Mackie brothers, owner of the White Horse Distillery of Lagavulin and served them and their successors, Scottish Malt Distillers carrying coal and barley to the island and whiskey out. A second Pibroch was launched in 1957 (more information here).
