Dalmuir Park Housing Associations contribution to the Illuminations ...the 'Vital Park'... A CEL project.

The 2/3 scale puffer was made by the staff of the Association for the 2005 Illuminations. The little ship was designed as a daytime and nighttime exhibit and was a replica of the famous Vital Spark.

Made from plywood the design was a 'cardboard cut out' version of arguably the Clydes most famous puffer.

Its construction was a source of great joy to the children of the area who seemed to be delighted by its presence.

When lit its bright reflections in the surrounding water added grandeur to the occasion. It was well photographed by visitors before being dismantled for use at next years illuminations.
