The first two of the three Govan Graving Docks were built on the S bank of the River Clyde in the 1870s by the Clyde Navigation Trust, with dock No.3 and its pump house added in 1895-7. This third dock, which could accommodate two ships and measures 270m long by 30m broad, remained in use until 1988 but is now derelict. A photograph (T-CN 19/112) held in Glasgow City Archives (Clyde Navigation Trust) shows the paddle steamer RMS Columba under repair in the dock in 1898.
