future Caledonian-MacBrayne car ferry Glen Sannox, moored for fitting
out outside Ferguson's yard.

Whyte the aft section of the ship can be seen. This is where the open
viewing gallery on the promenade deck was attended to in dry dock.
Other noticeable features are the brown painted captain's cabin forward
and stairwell cover aft as well as brown painted window frames on the
main deck. The ventilators have also been returned to their traditional
colouring.
