278 HMS Clyde in Aberdeen Harbour. She was a training vessel for the Royal Naval Reserve and was moored in the Upper Dock before being scrapped. Regent Bridge
361 This photograph, looking south east from Regent Quay, shows the old Regent Bridge located at the bottom of Marischal Street.
As shown here it could swing open to allow ships to enter and exit the Upper Dock from Victoria Dock.
The bridge was later replaced by a steel framed swing bridge operated from Regent Bridge House located at its south west end on Jamieson's Quay. The new bridge opened on 29th December 1904. An account of its construction can be read in the Aberdeen Journal of that date.
In the background of this image is HMS Clyde, a Navy Reserve Ship for the training of cadets. Aberdeen Harbour with HMS Clyde

3007 A colourised postcard showing HMS Clyde in Aberdeen Harbour. The image likely dates from the late 19th or very early 20th century.
This ship was the third HMS Clyde. The ship was a 'Leda' Class 46-gun frigate, the largest class of sailing frigates ever built, and was launched at Woolwich Dockyard in October 1828. She was sold in 1904.
The ship was located in Aberdeen Harbour for many years where it served as a training vessel for the Royal Navy Reserve. HMS Clyde
3008 HMS Clyde, training ship of the Royal Naval Reserve, moored in Victoria Dock c. 1880. Blaikie's Quay
3511 A photograph looking west along Blaikie's Quay and taken either on or alongside the sailboat seen in other images.
The image depicts stacked timber alongside the quay with a large steamship, possibly called Dragon, also featuring prominently.
The stacked timber suggests the area shown is that outside the wood related businesses towards the eastern end of the quay.
In the background HMS Clyde, a naval reserve training ship, can be seen in Victoria Dock. This ship was a replacement for a previous training vessel in Aberdeen that was also called HMS Clyde.
The replacement ship, shown here, was a sloop previously called Wild Swan. It was renamed after its predecessor on arrival in Aberdeen in 1904. Following changes to navy reserve training, the later Clyde, that shown here, left Aberdeen Harbour for the final time in 1911. |
