About this event

Set sail with Graeme Smith on the story of Glasgow Harbour. Extending from Glasgow Green to Clydebank, developing 12 miles of modern quays and 500 miles of railways, Glasgow became the greatest sea port in Scotland. And the world centre of shipbuilding. The docks were the busiest and most important in the UK throughout WWII.

The new book GLASGOW HARBOUR is being published by Amberley on April 15th, https://www.amberley-books.com/glasgow-harbour.html. See https://www.blythswoodsmith.co.uk for other works by Graeme Smith.

Copies of the new book will be on sale on the day. Special Fairfield price £15. (Cash)
