I must apologise for posting so many photo’s of this Old Harbour in the village of Bowling, West Dunbartonshire Scotland, but it holds so many memories of the shipbuilding days that belonged here along this stretch of the River Clyde. Bowling Harbour dates back to around 1835 when a Dyke was created topped with a timber wharf and sitting 8ft above the high water mark of the River Clyde to create a Berthage for Clyde Steamers during the winter months. Today unfortunately it tells a different story as over the years the un dredged harbour has become mud ridden and now a home to unused vessels which lie partially submerged and in a decaying state. Though this to the passing Photographer is a boon with a tide change every 12 hour’s and creating an echoing of industrious times gone bye.
