Glasgow`s
great wealth was built on the River Clyde, the great river which flows through
the city centre. The trading houses, the shipping fleets and the shipbuilding
industry all used this busy waterway. These articles describe the River Clyde and why it was so important to the development of the city.

The PS Waverley is the world`s last sea-going paddleship. It was built in Glasgow in 1947 and it is based at Finnieston, near the city centre. It is immensely popular with Glaswegians and visitors alike and it travels in the Clyde waters, off the west coast - and even around southern England! - during the summer months. The picture shows it passing Govan; Govan Old Parish Church and the Govan shipyard are on the left. |
