Description: View northwest over the River Clyde estuary to the Tail of the Bank where it deepens into the Firth of Clyde. The dredged navigable channel goes along the south shore past developments on the former Lithgows shipyard in Port Glasgow, and Greenock's Great Harbour. The Greenock Bank forms a sandbank and shoal extending across the estuary to the Ardmore Point peninsula on the north shore, near Cardross. The Gare Loch is directly ahead, with the town of Helensburgh to its right, the Rosneath Peninsula to its left. The wreck of MV Captayannis is in line with the Gare Loch.
