Glasgow And Ships Of The Clyde

Caledonian MacBrayne's LOCH PORTAIN leaves Garvel Drydock for Gourock Pier then Largs Pier

With the Garvel Dry-dock gates now open LOCH PORTAIN leaves the dry-dock for the adjacent Dales Marine Services Yard at James Watt Dock, Greenock.

LOCH PORTAIN enters James Watt Dock and then berths at the Dales Marine Services wall

After only a few minutes LOCH PORTAIN leaves the wall at Dales and moves through the entrance to James Watt Dock to enter the Firth of Clyde

Now clear of the James Watt Dock Basin LOCH PORTAIN can now taste the ecstasy of clear water and heads for Gourock Pier where she will spend a short time and then head southward down the coast to the town of Largs
