Scope and Content Dining Room, the Royal Clyde Yacht Club (now the Royal Marine Hotel), Marine Parade, Hunter's Quay, Dunoon, Argyll & Bute The Royal Clyde Yacht Club, which combined both clubhouse and hotel, was built by the Glasgow architect, Thomas Lennox Watson, in 1888-9. The dining room of the hotel was photographed in 1890 by the architectural photographer, Harry Bedford Lemere. This rather plain room, its walls adorned with pictures of famous yachts, is lit by brass pendant gas lights with glass shades. The tables, prepared for yachting parties, have crisp white tablecloths and napkins folded into elaborate forms. Throughout the Victorian period most houses were lit by candles, oil or gas. A ceiling gas pendant was often found in dining rooms, incorporating complicated devices to prevent leaks. The shades were either silk (which presented a fire risk) or glass.
