Govan Ferry

Still to be found on the south side of the River Clyde are the bearing pads for the Partick-Govan ferry's ramp. At its height this was a vehicular ferry steamer with an elevating platform, capable of being adjusted to suit the state of the tide, which could carry eight carts and a staggering three hundred passengers. Govan Cross Subway station and the Govan Branch's terminus were a short distance down Water Row from the ferry.
