Situated between Kirn to the south and Ardnadam to the north, Hunters Quay is the main base of Western Ferries (Clyde) LTD, operating between Hunters Quay and McInroy's Point. It is home to the Royal Marine Hotel, which is over one hundred years old.[2] 1908 Olympic GamesThe 12-metre class yacht race in the 1908 London Olympic Games took place at Hunters Quay. Most of the sailing took place on the Solent, but only two boats entered the 12-metre class: Mouchette from the Royal Liverpool Yacht Club and Hera from the Royal Clyde Yacht Club. They were allowed to race on the Clyde for convenience. The course was twice round a 13-mile lap of the Clyde, starting and finishing at Hunters Quay. Thomas C. Glen-Coats' Hera won. Jim Crow"Jim Crow" (earlier "The Jim Crow"[3]), a pointed rock lying horizontally on the beach, was known as the "Jim Crow Stone" in the 1880s,[4] and by 1904 was painted with a face. The inspiration behind the name and design have been suggested to be: the Jump Jim Crow song and dance popularised by the American minstrel show performer Thomas D. Rice; local stories suggest it could have been the name of the owner of a nearby builders’/joiners yard; a jackdaw [which has a black beak but not a red mouth]; or the Jim Crow laws which were state and local laws enforcing racial segregation in the Southern United States. Due to this potential link the rock has been painted over a number of times, but always returned to its original state.[5] Another is that it is named after the line "So they canonized him by the name of Jem Crow!" in the poem The Jackdaw of Rheims.[6]{{cn|date=February 2016}} {{clear}}Gallery{{Gallery|title=Hunters Quay |width=200 |height=200 |lines=7 |align=center |File:Hunters Quay - geograph.org.uk - 430081.jpg|Hunters Quay - geograph.org.uk - 430081 |File:Hunters Quay from Cloch Point.jpg|alt1=Hunters Quay from Cloch Point|Hunters Quay viewed from Cloch Point. |File:Hunter's Quay - geograph.org.uk - 837885.jpg|alt4=A Western Ferries ferry approaching the quay.|A Western Ferries ferry approaching the quay.
