An Industrial Past — Lens-Artists Challenge #199
Hi All 👋 My entry for this weeks challenge, set by John of Journeys With Johnbo.
The central belt area of Scotland, from the River Clyde, across to the Forth Estuary was at the forefront of industry in the past.
The docks in Glasgow saw such ships as the Glenlee, a three masted sailing ship, but with engines & mechanical windlasses.
Here you can see old dock buildings on the Clyde with the new Transport Museum & masts of the Glenlee in the background.
Old dock buildings in Glasgow The Padlle Steamer Waverley is the last seagoing passenger ship of its type in the world. She still runs sight seeing excursions on the Clyde & Clyde Estuary.
Waverley Paddle Steamer alongside Glasgow Science Centre Caledonia Macbrayne (known locally as CalMac) ferries are the modern vessels serving the highlands & islands of Scotland.
