Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, give him a fishing rod... Once a great toon, not now but many happy memories growing up here in the fifties..
Left Greenock many years ago thanks to the decline of shipyards. I was fortunate and it led to a great ongoing career in the engineering industry. Sadly having seen ultra modern ship yards across continents I dont think the ladles dream will come true the investment in infrastructure alone would be stagering add that to a 40 year skill gap meaning that the highly skilled highly motivated workforce needed does not exist. But you never know 🙏
The biggest ships were built in Port Glasgow not Greenock so please get the facts right when making such videos, Ships such as BP 'World Score' and 'Nordic Clansman' were some of the largest in the world at the time, not to mention the oil rigs and associated vessel ......all Port built.

That was a good video.
My favourite view is when you are coming down the Clune Brae.
I’ve always loved Greenock. I went in the 1970! Over the years I saw it’s destruction under Margaret Thatcher… May she rest in peace😊
