Description
The Old Boat of Caol, also known as the Corpach Wreck, is a fishing boat that rests on the shore where the sea lochs of Loch Linnhe and Loch Eil meet.
It’s located on a stretch of sand at the far end of the Caledonian Canal between the villages of Corpach and Caol.
This is on the Great Glen Way and has a dramatic backdrop of Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the UK.
Corpach in Gaelic roughly translates as “field of corpses”. Historically, this village was used as a resting place for coffins containing Clan chieftains who were on their way to be buried on the Isle of Iona.
Caol means “narrow” in Gaelic which references this narrow water channel between Loch Linnhe and Loch Eil.
The real name for the Old Boat of Caol is the MV Dayspring which was constructed in 1975.
In 2011, a terrible storm meant that MV Dayspring was forced from her moorings and chains. She was lost out at sea but eventually drifted onto the shore and ran aground where her life ended.
She has been on the beach for over a decade. Today, her memory has not been forgotten as many tourists now visit to photograph her with the spectacular views of Ben Nevis.
