Hi George, thanks for getting in touch, would welcome a look through your book, always interested to read about puffers and the Clyde. My email is peter.moir1@btinternet.com. Many thanks Peter

I was particularly interested to see your account of the Margaret Niven because I have just completed “The Streets of a Great City” , a volume which describes the development of the various sources of stone used in Glasgow. I was inspired by the art of Archibald Kay and the book’s title is the subtitle of his finest painting – of Furnace Quarry: he also produced a great painting of a puffer loading at Crarae.
Only 20 copies were produced in hardback, going to the archivists/curators on whose data the book is based. However, If you would care to see it in pdf form I can attach it to an email via my Google Drive. It has many tabulations of vessels and their captains; and dates of arrival at Glasgow. Ian Whittaker kindly helped with shipwreck data and your own books and website are naturally given a strong plug!
