We have received on loan a collection of old photographs which can be seen below. These are split into three pages. Please click on a picture to view an individual full size screen display or view them all as a slide show.

These are fascinating and unique views of some of the passenger boats and ships used in the Clyde in the early part of the 1900’s. A brief description has been added but we welcome any comments or information that you may have which we could add to our site.

These are from the JIM MURRAY Estate collection and are on loan to the Society.
