River Clyde

Nothing is now visible of this dock as it was depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 25-inch map (Dumbarton 1864, Sheet XXVIII.2 (Combined)) on the north bank of the River Clyde. It comprised little more that a rectangular cut into the river bank measuring about 103m from NE to SW by 40m transversely. The SE side of the dock was stone-lined and a drain ran into its north corner. By the 1890s the dock as shown on the 1st edition map had been completely destroyed and replaced by a much larger dock that was associated with the adjacent Clydebank Engineering and Shipbuilding Works, later John Brown’s Shipyard (NS46NE 29).
