Comments
View to the northeast of the Firth of Clyde from McInroy’s Point at Gourock, near Greenock, Inverclyde, Scotland. On Tuesday, November 1, Alexander and others went ashore from their ship from Tarbert to walk five miles to Greenock, where Alexander engaged lodgings. He returned in a boat to get his family and all their baggage to Greenock that night. Greenock was then and still is a busy port on the Firth of Clyde west of Glasgow. Alexander arranged for the family to follow him by boat with their baggage and set out to walk 23 miles to Glasgow to find a place for them to live.
