SALVAGED FROM THE WRECK OF

"THE S.S. POLITICIAN"

 

The S.S. Politician sank of the Island of Eriskay on  Thursday, 5th February 1941. The islanders awoke to discover the battered hulk of the 8,000-ton general cargo vessel S.S. Politician firmly aground off Calvey Island in The Sound of Eriskay. Having sailed two days previously from Liverpool, the ship was bound for the North Atlantic

 

Within hours the secret of the stricken vessels hold's were unlocked, word soon spread among the Islanders that the cargo included some 250,000 bottles of whisky. For weeks thereafter, Islanders regularly visited the wreck and liberated an estimated 9,000 cases before H.M. Customs and police intervened

 

There was, off course, a great shortage of whisky at that time, throughout this country. According to local tails, much of the whisky was hidden and forgotten about. The above was recovered by the professional diver, Henry McPhee in August 1987
