Greenock has changed since I worked there. The shipyard disappeared many years ago and has been replaced by a park.

I lived at the Tontine Hotel for 10 weeks in two suites at 320 pounds/week when the average weekly pay for the locals was around 45 pounds/week.

I did not spend much time at Greenock other than working at the shipyard.
