Awesome film, the Clyde means everything to me as a child and now adult . Was born 5 minutes away from the Clyde, the Motherwell side of the Clyde.

I was born in Gourock. My father was a Clyde Pilot. Loved watching the ships come and go on the river. Sometimes my father would taken me on a tour of Scott Lithgow Shipyard and the new ships built there as his other role was to take new ships on trial.

I well remember the Clyde in its heyday and have just had the most wonderful giant dose of nostalgia watching that film. Thanks Alex.

I doubt any of the younger generations, that being anyone 50 and below have any idea just how busy and important the Clyde was to the Scottish economy. And of course all of the collective skills of those who worked there, have sadly been lost to times past.

As an old Greenockian, from a seafaring family, this was a treat to see. It's shameful, though, what was allowed to happen to Greenock and to Clyde shipbuilding especially.
