Old Photograph Yoker Ferry Renfrew Scotland

Old photograph of people and cars getting of the ferry linking the north and south banks of the River Clyde close the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland. The success of the Clyde at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution was driven by the location of Glasgow, being a port facing the Americas. Tobacco and cotton trade began the drive in the early 18th century. However, the shallow Clyde was not navigable for the largest ocean-going ships and cargo had to be transferred at Greenock or Port Glasgow to smaller ships to sail upstream into Glasgow itself.
