   BUTE had left Wemyss Bay pier on her normal service to Rothesay (Isle of Bute) and had to turn to starboard (right) to give way and pass astern of the container ship MSC UMA which had left Greenock container terminal for Portbury in the Bristol Channel (England) and was outbound at full speed from the Clyde.

   MSC UMA was passing the town of Innellan on the other side of the Clyde and is a bit difficult to see clearly in the third image.
