An October 2022 aerial view from Newark Castle Park of Ferguson's Newark Shipyard from the east. The new 'Glen Sannox' is to the right at the fitting out quay and her sistership, the as yet unnamed second vessel, is on the slip. Newark Castle is to the bottom left and the former Gourock Ropeworks, now flats, are beyond the yard on the left by the railway. The shipyard was once railway served, a short branch leaving the Greenock railway to run to Port Glasgow's harbour (now filled in).
