Old Photograph Sailing Ship Harbour River Tay Perth Perthshire Scotland

Old photograph of a sailing ship and crew by the harbour on the River Tay near Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Perth has been an important centre for sea borne trade and shipbuilding since Mediaeval times, when the river was much deeper and the harbour was situated upstream opposite the end of the High Street. As the river silted up and ships got bigger, the harbour was moved further downstream. A New Haven was established in 1539 at the outflow of the southern branch of the Town Lade, opposite Greyfriars Monastery, now Greyfriars Cemetery. Until the 1820s, Newburgh served as an outport, where larger vessels tied up.
