Sorry Andy but the Ivanhoe was scrapped in 1920 and this is actually the magnificent "Lord Of The Isles" which did indeed belong to Turbine Steamers and still bore her old funnel colours of red with two white bands separated by a black band as can be made out on the photo. For the 1928 season she sailed on charter to Macbraynes on the Lochgoilhead run and was then sold for breaking up.

I think the steamers are the Turbine Steamers Ltd fleet laid up for the winter.

l-r:

King Edward, King George V (at the quay), lord of the Isles, Queen Alexandra (at the quay)

See Old Irvine, David Pettigrew, back cover for a ground level view of the scene.
