 CARINTHIA had arrived off Greenock to disembark passengers

 from Montreal and Quebec (Canada).

 

   The liner did not berth at Greenock, and anchored at

the Tail-of-the-Bank anchorage and disembarked

passengers to a chartered Clyde passenger steamer

which carried them to land at Princes Pier, Greenock.

 

   The passengers’ baggage was unloaded from the

anchored liner to a Clyde Puffer which was hired

for the day to come alongside the ship, and the

 baggage was taken to Princes Pier to be reunited

 with the passengers.

 

   CARINTHIA then left the Clyde, making for Liverpool

 where she would finish her trans-Atlantic voyage

 from Canada.
