For centuries the Clyde has been synonymous with ships but in the
last thirty years there has been a decline in the number of vessels
using the lower reaches of the river. The shipyards that made the
river famous are all but gone and the plethora of paddlers that
plied their trade between the coastal towns have been replace by a
few ferries. Clyde Shipping - The Twilight Years is a trip down
memory lane for those who remember when the Clyde was the third
most important river in Britain and its ports some of the busiest.
That heyday has gone and all that we have to remind us of the
greatness of the Clyde are images such as the ones contained within
this book. No longer are the world's largest ocean liners built
here and only a few large ships now make the journey up the river.
Once busy ports like Greenock and Port Glasgow lie silent for much
of the time and all that remains are photographs and the memories
of those who worked on this once busy river.
