Cranes
These giant cranes at Inchgreen Drydock in Greenock were demolished in 2017.
Sad to see these giant creatures go, definitely the end of an era.
Inchgreen was built in the early 1960s by the Firth of Clyde Dry Dock Company at a cost of £4.25million.
At the time it was one of the largest dry docks in the world and could accommodate ships of up to 150,000 tons.
Following her launch at John Brown’s Clydebank yard in September 1967, the QE2, left, sailed downriver to Inchgreen for fitting-out.
The current owners, Peel Ports seem to have no interest in the docks. A campaign to save the docks has been launched.
