MARITIME DISASTERS

*

Scotland has a proud shipping history, but it was not until the Act of Union in 1707 that it became legal for Scots to trade with English colonies.
The country's sailors and engineers then became known throughout the world, and many shipping companies such as Cunard and P&O were founded by Scots.

Where you involved with a ship built on the River Clyde?
Maybe you helped deliver material/plan/build/launch/crew or sail in one.
Write and tell us about it and we may include it in this series.
