And today there were two bows :D I think the far away one is on a barge in the fitting out basin. Is it going to Yarrows? I think it was the one beside the Dragon on launch day.
We should be told :wink:

nice to see ships on the Clyde isn't it? And it still bugs me that further up the river there's almost no traffic.

Not that I’ve seen it or even taken a photograph, but seemingly the Brazilian Naval Frigate ‘Defensora’ is visiting the Lower Clyde as part of military exercise Joint Warrior if anyone is interested.
A list of other ships for 2nd October 2009 is at : http://www.seawaves.com/portvisits.asp
