TO
JAMES HEDDERWICK, ESQ.,
Editor of the "Glasgow Citizen."
MY
DEAR SIR,
The thread of the gossamer,
"a trifle light as air," shows the way of the wind; the evanescent
foam-bell upon the surface of the stream indicates the tendency of the
current; and the dedication of my little book may serve to manifest the
drift of my feelings towards one whom I regard as a friend and benefactor.
Permit me therefore to inscribe it to you, with every sentiment of respect
and gratitude.

A History of Glasgow Harbour
From the demolition of St Enoch Railway Station to the
demise of Queen's Dock, a look at how in a one-hundred-year
period Glasgow Harbour grew to become one of the busiest
ports in the world. So why is the River Clyde now so silent,
and what caused the collapse of so many of Glasgow's major
riverside industries? Included in the video are many of
Glasgow's docks and quays, from Kingston Dock to Prince's
Dock (originally named Cessnock Dock) and Queen's Dock, and
quays and basins at Yorkhill. Glasgow was once referred to
as The Second City of the British Empire, supplying much of
The Empire and the world with goods made in the city. So
what went wrong?
