A semi-autobiographical novel reflecting the author's lifelong interest in the Clyde and its shipping.
The romance of shipbuilding on the Clyde described in all its aspects: the change from wood to iron and steel in ship construction, the last days of sail, pen portratits of famous ship builders and owners, stories of ship sailings, stowaways, passengers, and loadings, the Queen Mary's launching and maiden voyage - these are only a few of the subjects that the author covers.
