   Vessels carrying Iron Ore arriving at General Terminus Quay, Glasgow, normally berthed starboard-side to the wall,

with their head east, facing upriver towards the City Centre and bridges across the River Clyde.

   THACKERAY, possibly on account of her smaller length, 367 feet overall, was one of a very few ore-carrying ships

which canted in Prince’s Dock and came astern up the channel to berth port-side to the wall, with her head west, facing

downriver towards Greenock.
