But natural advantages of the situation captured by these big cities, have been grandiosely added by the enterprise of their inhabitants. Glasgow - only river port. As on twenty miles below its site Clyde is naturally narrow, small, and burdened with shoal. In places it is natural no more than fifteen inches depth. Expenses the sum is not less than 60 000 000$ this small stream has been transformed to the continuous harbour levelled from both parties for miles with moorings and docks, and easily capable to placing of the greatest and finest trading courts afloat. As consequence of this enterprise of Glasgow became the greatest port of shipbuilding in the world. No less than twenty shipyards any less - in efficiency and size very much the highest exists a class to be found along banks once small, impassable Clyde, between appropriate Glasgow and a river mouth.
