Tugboat At Work; hauling a liner into one of the dockyards on Clydeside
17th July 1954: A tugboat hauls a liner into one of the dockyards on Clydeside. The shipyards are the major employers in the area and, while the demand is high, the industry supports the local economy. In July 1954 the Clyde shipyards had about 2, 000, 000 gross tons of shipping under construction and factories were manufacturing enough engines to supply the local trade and export the surplus.
