English: Gulmar da Vinci is a diving support vessel, and she was built in 2011. She is 116 metres in length, her gross tonnage is 9300, and she draws 6.1 metres maximum. Leith is a long way from home for her, as her owners are based in Sharjah and they normally operate in the Gulf (Arabian or Persian, according to your preference). She sails under the flag of the Marshall Islands. The rotting pier on the left is interesting, because this is the remains of the original West Pier; all the land to the west of it, including that under Ocean Terminal and the developments on the west breakwater, is reclaimed land. The harbour entrance, until as late as the 1940s, was a long narrow dredged channel to the east of this pier. The west breakwater first appears on maps in the late 1940s, creating the vast west harbour, but the dam and sea lock were later still.
