Defending The Clyde - Part 1

During both world wars, there was an anti-submarine boom located across the River Clyde from east to west. It's purpose was to ensure that only authorised vessels were able to pass through. The boom was protected by two artillery batteries. One at Cloch point overlooking the boom and one at Toward that watched over a vessel inspection point. The boom was essential to ensure the safety of shipbuilding, naval operations and merchant shipping within the upper Clyde. It is believed that no enemy vessels were able to get past the boom.
