EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph captures the River Clyde boom between Dunoon and the Clock lighthouse in 1915, as seen through the lens of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time over a century ago. The River Clyde, an important waterway in Scotland, is depicted in all its natural beauty. The calm, glassy waters reflect the clear blue sky above, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the serene atmosphere. The boom, a series of floating barriers used to control the movement of ships, stretches across the river, anchored between the picturesque town of Dunoon and the iconic Clock lighthouse. The Clock lighthouse, a Victorian-era architectural marvel, stands proudly on the shore, its red and white stripes contrasting against the blue sky and green landscape. The lantern atop the lighthouse emits a warm, inviting glow, guiding ships safely through the treacherous waters of the Clyde. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past through the clothing and vessels of the era. Men in flat caps and long coats can be seen working on the boom, while a small sailing boat sails peacefully in the background. The image is reminiscent of the Edwardian and early Victorian eras, a time of grandeur and elegance. Despite the peaceful scene, the backdrop of 1915 brings with it a sense of history and nostalgia. This was a time of great change, with the world on the brink of the First World War. Yet, in this moment, the River Clyde remains a tranquil oasis, untouched by the looming conflict.
