Inchgreen drydock in Greenock is still an active site – currently leased to BAE Systems, it was last used to assemble a giant floating dock for Faslane naval base. It also once played host to the Queen Elizabeth liner – it’s a pretty big dock 🙂
The dock has three goose-necked level-luffing cranes – one of them made by Sir William Arrol, so of course that’s the one I went for (plus, it’s the biggest). This took two trips – first time, with no harness, I wasn’t going to attempt to get to the end. Second time, success…
