St Just

"St Just made headline news in 1986 when she was engaged in a drug run from Nigeria-West Africa to Oban,
during which 1 ton of cannabis was brought back. The voyage lasted approx 9 months and came to an abrupt end.
The Customs cutter Seeker had been following the St Just from Land’s End
and, stopped and boarded her just off Seil Isle,
when they boarded the crew were toasting the apparent success of their trip.

The St Just was impounded by HM Customs and Excise and taken to the Railway Pier at Oban,
then moved to the Great Harbour, Greenock where she was disposed of by auction on completion on the trial."
