More about this scene
It was in the 17th century that Greenock developed as a port, providing a packet service to and from Ireland. During the early years of the 18th century, facilities were improved with the construction of a harbour and quays. By 1760, the first shipyards at Greenock were open, and in 1786 a graving dock was completed. A new graving dock was built in the early 1870s and work on the James Watt Dock began in 1881. In this view, we see the smoking chimneypots of Greenock and the entrance to Gare Loch.
