Approaching and passing Custom House Quay, Greenock.    To her right is Caledonian MacBrayne's brand new ferry GLEN ROSA fitting out and maintenance in Garvel Drydock and at the far right is Caledonian MacBrayne's large ferry CALEDONIAN ISLES undergoing extended maintenance and repair in James Watt Dock.

Passing Greenock Ocean Terminal and making her way to Brodick Bay (Isle of Arran, Firth of Clyde) where she would anchor to await orders. 

  Her crew did not have time to enjoy the terrific excitement of Isle of Arran as, only a few hours after anchoring, orders arrived to leave and make the long passage to the far end of the Mediterranean Sea to Istanbul, Turkey.
