Carrying commuters, day-trippers and holidaymakers, more than
twenty steamers once served more than fifty piers on Scotland's
River Clyde. This meticulously recorded Day Book provides an
accurate account of the daily highs and lows at the height of the
popularity of trips "Doon The Watter." It concentrates on the last
season of the Graham, the last coalburner in the fleet, with strong
Arran and Ayr connections, before she sailed away to a new life in
Greece. Richard Orr attended the High School of Glasgow, then read
classics and law at Glasgow University, serving as assistant purser
on the River Clyde during eight summer vacations. His love of the
River Clyde and its ships never left him, and he organised various
educational charters in the later 1970s. In retirement, he
maintains his varied interests including ships, travel and
hillwalking. He lives with his wife June in the home of his birth
in the south side of Glasgow and has two grown up children.
