Under a Dead Tow up the River Clyde to Glasgow

 

A rare sight of the newly refurbished passenger/restuarant vessel Neptunes Lady being tugged fore 'n' aft , they are inbound on the lower Clyde passing Bowling Harbour on a breezy Saturday afternoon. The former Inverness-registered Neptunes Lady is presumably powerless. The Tugs are Trio & Sublime.

 

VESSEL DETAILS

Described as a restaurant barge of 105ft but started life as a

Dutch 1908 'Customs Cutter'. I was on my way down to Greenock when I noticed them and a quick turnaround was required at Langbank Village.
