Glenlee Restoration
A rather nice little film of the restoration of Glasgow's tall ship Glenlee, whose shrouds, masts and cables feature in some of my icons. The music is dire but there are some lovely aerial shots of the ship being towed up the Clyde. I can almost imagine a couple of lieutenants standing on her cross trees! ;)
ETA And here's a picture of Clyde shipping in the river's hey day. This is the North Quay of the Queens Dock in 1913. The picture is taken from the fascinating collection Doon the Watter on the Glasgow History website.
