Clyde Steamers's Documents
What's Online Here - A to Z Guide
As with the listings here, the main purpose being to 'corral' and link together everything that was available and remembered about the Kintyre’s history, its peoples and some of The Clyde Steamers that served it. Though Campbeltown, Carradale, Tarbert and, recently, Southend have their own websites, this website, a pre-cursor to the presentation of what is here, was set up to record the history of Kintyre's "West Road" area, from the north end of Machrihanish Bay to West Loch Tarbert.

Captain Williamson's 1904-published book, "The Clyde Passenger Steamer", which gives a complete overview of all the Clyde Steamers from the appearance of Henry Bell's 1812 "Comet" to the appearance of the 1901 "King Edward", was uploaded on to scribd.com’s ‘Clyde Steamer’ lists in January 2008 but, for unknown reason, only the first forty or so pages converted properly to scribd’s then but barely eighteen-month old webpage system of publishing, the failure only noticed in recent time and, hopefully, everything now to be found online and available for downloading after reading these notes.
