The pleasure motor boat ‘Ocean’ had left from Inchgreen for
a trip to Ardentinny on Loch Long.
However the weather became bad and they headed for the more sheltered
Gareloch. As it entered the Gareloch, the
boat was swamped by a heavy wave and sunk.
Twenty people, including six members of the Graham family
from Port Glasgow, including a two year old child, drowned. There were only three survivors.
A very fitting memorial overlooking the River Clyde.
