Tonight's sunset on the Clyde in Glasgow looking over the old Meadowfield Shipyard in Partick in the foreground (last ship launched in 1935), past the BAE Govan Shipyard on the left (still operational) to the titan crane at the former Barclay Curle Shipyard in Whiteinch in the distance (closed in the 1960s).

Carving of HMS Agamemnon on a Clydebank tenement. Built by William Beardmore and Company, it was the largest warship built on the Clyde when it was launched in 1906.

It merged with other shipyards to become part of the Upper Clyde Shipyards in 1968, which went on to be liquidated in the early 1970s, leading to the famous Work-In led by local shop stewards including Jimmy Reid and Jimmy Airlie. The shipyard was sold off by the liquidators and was later used to build oil rigs. It finally closed for good in 2001. It's now home to the campus of West College Scotland.

The remains of the slipway at the John Brown and Company shipyard in Clydebank. Founded in 1851, many world renowned ships were built here, including the RMS Lusitania, the HMS Hood, the RMS Queen Mary and the QE2, the last of the great Cunard liners to be launched in the Clyde (on this very slipway).

One of the hospital's surgeons, William Macewan, decided to solve this problem by contacting the surrounding Clydeside shipyards and asking them to make artificial limbs for his patients. These are three examples made for them by the pattern shop at Yarrows.

This is a rather moving exhibit in Glasgow University''s Hunterian Museum. When the Erskine Hospital opened in 1916 to care for the many soldiers and sailors injured in the First World War, the sheer number of amputees meant there was a shortage of prosthetic limbs.

The 1914 design office of the shipbuilders Alexander Stephen and Sons in the Linthouse area of Glasgow. Starting in the Moray Firth in 1750, the firm opened its first Glasgow shipyard in Kelvinhaugh in 1851, before moving to this site in 1870. This yard will be forever linked to the worst shipbuilding disaster on the Clyde.

The P/S Waverley, the world's last ocean-going passenger paddle steamer, sailing down the Clyde this morning from her home port of Glasgow. She was built in 1946 to replace an earlier vessel of the same name which was sunk in 1940 while helping to evacuate British troops from Dunkirk.

In 1825, the Comet II sank after colliding with another ship, killing 62 of the 80 passengers. After this, Bell abandoned his interest in steam-powered nautical navigation and he died in Helensburgh just a few years later in 1830.

In 1808, Bell moved to Helensburgh and it was here he built his first successful steam-powered vessel, a paddlesteamer called Comet, in 1812 and used it to create Europe's first successful steam-powered passenger service running between Helensburgh, Glasgow and Greenock. In 1820, the Comet was shipwrecked near Oban, but was soon replaced by the PS Comet II.

Harland Cottages in Whiteinch, Glasgow. These half-timber Tudor style terraced houses are thought to be over 100 years old and to have been built for those working in the nearby shipyards, which lined the banks of this part of the Clyde. If this is the case, they'd have most likely been for managers, office workers or foremen rather than those working directly on the ships.

The former North British Diesel Engine Works on South Street in Glasgow. Part of the Barclay Curle Clydeholm shipyard, it was built in 1913, it was designed by Karl Bernhard and J. Gait in a Modernist style based on on Peter Behren's1909 A.E.G. Turbine Factory in Berlin. The Titan Crane was built in 1920 to lift the completed engines into ships berthed alongside it on the Clyde.
The eventual solution was to rename the original Queen Mary, Queen Mary II so that the new liner could use the name Queen Mary. It was only when the liner was eventually retired from active service in 1976 that this plucky little Clyde steamer could regain its original name.

The TS Queen Mary moored next to the Glasgow Tower.
This is a Clyde steamer which was built at the William Denny Shipyard in Dumbarton. Despite being launched first, in 1936, it had to change its name to the Queen Mary II in order to avoid confusion with Cunard's newly launched trans-Atlantic liner, the RMS Queen Mary.

The Barclay Curle Titan: Glasgow's other crane.
Built in 1920 by Sir William Arrol and Co for the Barclay Curle Shipyard in Whiteinch, this is an A-listed structure, but it seems little is being done to preserve it.

The statue of William Pearce and the Pearce Institute, which is named after him, at Govan Cross in Glasgow.
Built in 1906 to a design by Rowand Anderson, the Pearce Institute was gifted to the working people of Govan by Lady Pearce in memory of her late husband who ran the nearby Fairfield Shipyard and turned it into one of the most advanved in the world.
