Scope and Content Victoria Harbour, Greenock, Inverclyde This view from the west, taken in 1995, shows the steam yacht 'Carola' berthed next to a tug on the south-west side of the harbour. The vessel was built by Scott's of Bowling as both a pleasure craft and a tender, and was acquired in about 1993 by the Scottish Maritime Museum. The vessel is seen here on an excursion to Dumbarton. She is the last Clyde-built steam yacht in Scotland, and is normally at the Museum's pontoon in Irvine. She was privately restored before acquisition by the museum. The Victoria Harbour in Greenock was constructed in 1846-50 to designs by Joseph Locke, probably to take advantage of the recently-opened Glasgow & Greenock Railway, which Locke was also involved in designing. For many years it was used for berthing tugs, puffers and other small craft. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
