Glasgow And Ships Of The Clyde

News Event

Tuesday, October 30, 1984 @ 1200
The postcard was mailed on 30 October 1984 at Greenock (Renfrewshire, Scotland)

QUEEN MARY 11 (1933-1977 Passenger excursion vessel 263 feet long of Caledonian Steam Packet Company, Gourock)

Postcard of Clyde Steamer QUEEN MARY 11 at Dunoon (Firth of Clyde, Scotland, UK)

Ship's location	The town of Dunoon (Firth of Clyde, Scotland, UK)	Port of Registry	Glasgow (Scotland, UK)

Look closely at the postcard. On the other side of the water (the Firth of Clyde), just above the ship's funnel (stack) and slightly to the right are some white-painted buildings. Those buildings are the famous Cloch Lighthouse.

During World War 2 (1939-1945) an anti-submarine boom (essentially like a huge net) was stretched across the 2 miles (3.2km) from Dunoon where this photograph was taken to the Cloch Lighthouse. The purpose was to prevent German submarines from getting to the Allied Ships at the anchorage off Gourock and Greenock.
