Clyde Steamers

Patton examines the history of the Clyde steamers from the earliest days, through to their final demise. Starting the story in 1877, he narrates the history of Clyde steamers, and associated vessels, until the mid-1970s, when the last of the traditional Clyde steamers was taken out of service.
