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'.


Whenever I was in Glasgow, Greenock was "Clydeside"
IIRC "Scotts" was always a clydeside builder
