The rather beautiful bell of the Archibald Russell. Constructed by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Greenock in 1905, it was one of the last square-rigged sailing ships built on the Clyde. The Archibald Russell was withdrawn from service in 1948 and was broken up in 1949. Its bell can now be seen on the Glenlee Tall Ship in Glasgow.

The world's last sea-going passenger paddle steamer, the PS Waverley, passing a monument to Henry Bell, the person who designed the very first one, the PS Comet, which was launched in 1812. The Waverley regularly passes this location at Dunglass Castle on her trips up and down the Clyde, just as the Comet would have done some 212 years earlier.
