This unique 'composite' collection of timetables gives an overall view of the

summer sailings of the Clyde Steamers at the beginning of the 20th century
and encourages the reader to explore The Clyde from the comfort of home.
Travel back in time to the 'Age of Steam' and 'integrated transport'.

Steamer and Railway Tickets

Early tickets were laboriously hand stamped and then in 1837 one Thomas
Edmondson (1792-1851), a clerk on The Newcastle & Carlisle Railway, invented a
machine for printing consecutively-numbered and standard-sized card tickets which
could be automatically date-stamped in a machine-press. He patented his machines
and then persuaded the railway companies, first The Manchester & Leeds Railway
Company, to lease his ticket dating machines at 10/- (50p) per route mile per year -
and, at the time, there were literally tens of thousands of ‘route-miles’ !

26
 Pier Signals

Many Clyde piers employed a berth signalling system which was devised around
1887 by one Charles Allan, third son of the founder of The Allan Line.

Allan’s signals were housed in a white painted triangular box sited so that the two
outward-facing sides could be seen by approaching steamers.

Each exposed side contained three circular discs, for ‘inshore’, ‘middle’ and
‘offshore’ steamers approaching from that particular direction.

Black-painted sliding boards, with red-lit glass centres, were raised as necessary to
expose a white-painted circle with a white-lit glass centre to the selected approaching
steamer and thus call her in to the pier in preference against any others approaching
from the same or opposite directions.

Kilcreggan Pier continues to maintain a fully working set of Allan’s pier signals.

 “Good Spirits”
The typical 1890’s and early 1900's steamer bar prices were slightly more
expensive than ‘shore prices’, not surprising in view of the fact that they had
a ‘captive’ clientele !

Brandy 8d; Whisky, Rum, Gin, Port, Sherry, Cordial (a range of these
were available) and Lime Juice were all 4d; Special Whisky at 3d per ‘nip’.

Bottled Beers were all priced at 4d each as were aerated ‘waters’.

Liqueurs were 6d per ‘nip’, the most popular of the period being
Marachino, Benedictine and Green Chartreuse.

A small selection of wines, reflecting the better sellers of the time, was also
carried on board and sold by the bottle - and by the pint ! .

Champagnes all at 10/6d per bottle, 5/6d per pint : Dry Monopole
Heidsieck, G. H. Mumm’s, Perinet and Fils and Pommery.

Port and Sherry being 5/- per bottle and 2/6d per pint.

Wines :

Hocks : Sparkling Moselle at 6/- per bottle, 3/6d per pint; Hockheimer at
5/- per bottle and 2/6d per pint.

Clarets : Medoc at 2/6d per bottle, 1/6d per pint; St. Julien at 3/- per
bottle and 1/9d per pint.
