Also known as "the bombshell" due to the fact it was heavily bombed during WW2.Often lumped together with its more Famous Neighbour Glasgow(as indeed many unfortunate other towns are!)A town that should hold its head high for the fact of its Shipbuilding history Many famous ships were born there!not least the Queen Mary and QE2 adding to the legacy of the Clyde.But sadly no more. like most of the Clyde yards they were Privatised by the British Government and then left to Neglect and die!
