The maritime archaeology of the Clyde has been identified as a focus for a major study of human interaction with the river through time by the RCAHMS following on from recommendations by the Scottish Archaeological Research Framework (ScARF). Source to
Sea has been developed as the long-term research programme, of which the research into human connections with the River Clyde forms part. This project has comprised a study of the surviving shipwreck heritage of Clyde-built vessels lost within the Clyde estuary and Firth of Clyde.
This project has collated information from a range of sources and has enhanced knowledge of Clyde-built wrecks within the Clyde. In particular information from recreational divers has proved invaluable and has been the source of detailed information about the current condition of many Clyde-built wrecks, useful for on-going management. A number of wrecks previously recorded as of unknown identity in the RCAHMS database were positively identified during the project and more accurate positional information was established for a number of other wrecks. Additionally, the project identified a potentially significant wreck (Margaret Niven) the remains of which were not previously recorded. This project has also identified a number of other potentially significant wrecks within the Clyde, which reflect both its unique contributions to world-wide shipbuilding and local connections. These wrecks include paddle steamers (Lapwing and Princess of Wales), Clyde Puffers (e.g. Margaret Niven), steam-yachts with military connections (HMS Breda), a dredger (Greenock) and an 18th-century West Indiaman (Lady Margaret). Numerous other wrecks have been identified by this project, and all display some degree of significance.

Event | Type | Subtype | Notes | Date |
---|---|---|---|---|
1001966 | RECORDING | DESK BASED ASSESSMENT | The New York is recorded as having been built in 1854 by Tod & McGregor, Glasgow. More information available online at http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=13916 [accessed 1 December 2014]. Moir and Crawford (1997: 49) indicate that this vessel was constucted by R Craig, Glasgow. [...] | 28 November 2014 |
1001976 | RECORDING | DESK BASED ASSESSMENT | Davaar I. The Steamship was built by Campbeltown Shipbuilding Co, in 1878, and was wrecked less than 2 months after its launch. More information available online from http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=20505 [accessed 5 December 2014]. Characterising Scotland's Marine Archaeolological Resource database places this wreck c. 37m to the west of the UKHO position for the live wreck of the Davaar, however Canmore records the same position as the UKHO. The wreck was sold in 1879 and salvaged, leaving only the boiler and scattered, flattened debris on the wreck site, at approximately 12m (Moir and Crawford 1994). [...] | 27 November 2014 |
1001979 | RECORDING | DESK BASED ASSESSMENT | Kyle Skye is recorded to have been built by Rennie, Ritchie & Newport, Glasgow in 1 stee911 (Moir & Crawford 2004: 105). Characterising Scotland's Marine Archaeolological Resource database places this wreck c. 65m to the east of the UKHO position for this wreck. The UKHO record for this wreck is recorded as being dead, however the surveying details indicate that although the wreck was not located in a survey it may have been masked by kelp and rocks in the area at the time, and divers have recorded the wreck (Moir and Crawford 2004: 105-106). The wreck is said to be well dispersed, with its port side buried in shingle. [...] | 27 November 2014 |
