    Though puffers were a familiar sight in Campbeltown, there was also the near 90-foot long, two-masted auxiliary ketch, "Halcyon", owned by Captain William McMillan, she just able to squeeze through the locks of The Crinan Canal. Built as a Humber 'Billy Boy' and registered initially in Hull in 1903, she was slightly larger and shallower than a puffer, she carried 101 tons of cargo and sailed, sometimes under canvas, until July 1966 when her owner, after 51 years at sea, retired, only her owner's age and not any lack of cargo leading to her sale to the shipbreakers in Troon, her National diesel engine removed and given to Hay's puffer "Sitka".
