MV Gardyloo

http://dbpedia.org/resource/MV_Gardyloo an entity of type: Thing

MV Gardyloo was a specially designed sewage dumping vessel that operated from Leith between 1978 and 1998. The ship's name is an 18th-century word derived from the French "gardez l’eau" ("mind the water"), used in Edinburgh to warn passers-by of waste about to be thrown from a window into the street below. Prior to 1978, the city of Edinburgh's waste was discharged into the Forth from a series of eight outlets along the coastline, where it often washed back up on beaches and rocks. rdf:langString
