Old Photograph Paddle Steamers Benmore And Carrick Castle River Clyde Greenock Scotland

Old photograph of paddle steamers Benmore and Carrick Castle on the River Clyde in Greenock by Glasgow, Scotland. The steamer Carrick Castle is reversing into her berth which is sandwiched between the quayside, the bow of the Marquis of Lorne and the stern of the Benmore. This would require considerable skill and the crew would be well practiced. For manoeuvres such as this, it was certainly beneficial to have the wheel behind the funnel.
