"A celebration in words and pictures of the rich heritage of two of the most well-known of Greenock shipyards, Scotts' and The Greenock Dockyard. Both shipyards were a focal point of the local community, and so this book is concerned not merely with an account of shipbuilding techniques, but through historical research and personal narrative, it is also about the men who built the ships and their lives."--Provided by the publisher.
