Moving caravans at Y Felinheli Back in 1974 before the road connection via the Britannia Bridge was completed this was how static caravans were transported to Anglesey. These two look precarious on the raft in the harbour at Y Felinheli (usually referred to as Port Dinorwic in those days) but the operators obviously knew what they were doing.
