When she and MORETON BAY were in Glasgow for re-engining, they were taken downriver to the Inchgreen Drydock at Greenock for repainting, etc. This was taken in October 1980 as DISCOVERY BAY was brought out of the basin at Govan for the downriver passage under tow.

Out into the river and ready for the tow to Greenock. Clyde Shipping Co/s FLYING FULMAR in attendance at the bow.
