Clyde River Steamer Club

There are no views of the Mary at any piers other than Princes Dock.  I think this is due to the calling points being for embarking passengers only rather than the more usual “everyone off” at each pier called at.  Maybe others can confirm if this was so or perhaps the timings on the booking form will confirm if this was the case.  The photos represent what was seen from the Mary rather than her berthed at any piers.  

The view leaving Keppel pier being the last outbound photo while the Keppel at Largs onwards are taken on the return journey.  After previously saying how much easier colour slides are to process I ran into a “Gratispool” film (remember them?) which has not aged well at all, and some of the views remain quite dark and grainy despite the best efforts of PSE and other software.  

And pre-dating the modern craze of “photo-bombing” by 40 years, just check out the blasted seagull which all but ruined the shot of Waverley at Gourock!!!
