Ocean Mist Hotel Ship, Edinburgh
Built in George Browns Gravel Shipyard in 1919 and intended as a minesweeper for the Admiralty, Ocean Mist was originally named Samuel Green after an Officer who served under Admiral Nelson. Never used by the admiralty, the boat was sold in 1920 to Kenelm Guinness of the Guinness dynasty. Kenelm was a successful racing car driver, inventor and playboy. Converted to a gentleman’s pleasure yacht. Friends such as the Duke of Leeds and Sir Malcolm Campbell enjoyed adventures on Ocean Rover during the roaring twenties. After many more owners and adaptions, the ship was bought by the Pedley Family and lovingly restored to her former glory. After years of careful work, she was reborn as the Ocean Mist, a boutique hotel and bar moored on the Water of Leith.
