	River Dee Ferry Boat Disaster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aberdeen is a city which sits on the north bank of the River Dee, on the south bank sits the Royal Burgh of Torry.
		There was a fair in Torry and large numbers were crossing the River Dee by ferry, heading for the holiday fair.
		The ferry operated on a pulley system, attached by a rope at each end to either bank, allowing it to be pulled across the river, without the need for an engine, sails or rudder on the boat.

		The men in the boats now rowed a-head of the whales, and drove them back among the rocks, at which the mother evinced great uneasiness and anxiety; she swam round and round the young one in lessening circles; but all her care was unheeded, and the inexperienced calf soon met its fate.
		He despatched the smaller of the two boats to the north of the port to set fire to the vessels, whilst he led the remainder of the party to the more hazardous duty of securing the fort, which was situated on a hill to the south.
		Unfortunately the boat was lost--whether carried away by the violence of the currents that set in between the islands, or dashed to pieces against the breakers, was never known, for no vestige of the boat or crew was ever seen.

		St. Devenick's Bridge, which crosses the Dee from Ardoe to Cults, was built in 1837 to link the now ruined Banchory Devenick Parish Church, on the south bank of the Dee, with its parishoners, who lived on the north bank.
		However, due to erosion, the Dee shifted its course in the 1970s and 1980s, sweeping away the southern approach spans, and in 1984 the decking was removed as a safety precation.

		There was an incredible blue river by the cave which had a rope swing and a ladder up to a high branch that you could climb up and jump off.
