Greenock August 2023
Not everyone`s favorite place but you must say it has improved.
With the new Cruise ship terminal. Visitors arriving from around the world.
Greenock started as a fishing village. Years later it became an international trading port importing sugar. Mainly Caribbean. In the 17th century the town turned to shipbuilding and is believed to be the home of the oldest shipbuilding company in the world.
