SPARTAN & RED COUNTESS

The Puffer SPARTAN being assisted downriver by the tug RED COUNTESS. Seen here passing the neglected Govan dry docks.
Puffer's like SPARTAN were once a common sight on the upper Clyde. Bringing their cargoes right up to the city centre berths like the Broomielaw & Customs House quay.


Passing Govan shipyard. More info on SPARTAN and her history can be Read Here.
