I'm not sure that the source Keith quotes has all the shipyard outputs
- I seem to recall looking there some time back and seeing a
disclaimer about having all the records. There were 14 miles of
shipyards up and down the Clyde. Even in the sixties I think
something like more than 1/2 a million were employed there.

Not to mention the Greenock yards, that are on the Clyde but not usually
described as part of 'Clydeside'.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.



I think if you look at the lists of ships in the site mentioned they have
entries for yards in Greenock and Port Glasgow, so they seem to cover
fairly far down the river. How complete the records are is unclear
however.
