Viewed from National Cycle Route 75 on the former Kilmacolm-Princes Pier railway line behind Gibshill. The view is ample reward for the long slog up the hill by bike from the main A8 road. The overhead power lines of the Glasgow-Gourock railway and the Sinclair Street bridge Image are in the foreground. Cappielow Park Image, home of Greenock Morton is just beyond the railway line. The old sugar warehouses Image are just visible to the right. PS Waverley Image is in the centre, with MV Jupiter Image to her left. The Titan crane Image is the most prominent feature of the photo. The grey sheds are at Garvel Dock Image where a yellow tanker truck appears to be making a delivery. The small Naval craft to the top right is one of a pair on manoeuvres just off Rosneath Peninsula.
