The Barclay Curle Titan: Glasgow's other crane.

Built in 1920 by Sir William Arrol and Co for the Barclay Curle Shipyard in Whiteinch, this is an A-listed structure, but it seems little is being done to preserve it.

Canada's biggest shipbuilder, Davie, plans to buy the Helsinki Shipyard.

The Russian-owned yard has been floundering due to western sanctions, even though its owners have not been directly targeted by sanctions against Russia over the war on Ukraine.

The Helsinki Shipyard, established in 1865, specialises in Arctic shipbuilding, including icebreakers. It has changed hands and names many times.

Built in 1906 to a design by Rowand Anderson, the Pearce Institute was gifted to the working people of Govan by Lady Pearce in memory of her late husband who ran the nearby Fairfield Shipyard and turned it into one of the most advanved in the world.

Carved keystone head over the entrance to the old Fairfield Shipyard on Govan Road. Dating from 1890, the sculpture is by McGilvray & Ferris.

Judging by the winged headdress, it represents Thor, the hammer-wielding Norse god of Thunder, which would be quite appropriate given the all the cacophony of noise created by ship-building.
