Port Report dated Friday 4th September 1964

From "The Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald" dated Friday 4th September 1964

Proposal for a "Clyde Port Authority"

From "The Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald" dated Friday 4th September 1964.

PROPOSED CLYDE SCHEME

Troon harbour, and the ports of Ayr and Ardrossan, are unlikely to be included, at least initially, in a proposed scheme to unify control of the Clyde.

The proposed scheme would merge control of the functions of the Clyde Navigation Trust, the Greenock Harbour Trust, the Clyde Lighthouses Trust, and the Clyde Pilotage Authority.

A new authority, probably to be known as the Clyde Port Authority, would have jurisdiction from Glasgow to Cumbrae Head, the present limitation of the Clyde Lighthouses Trust.

Death of Mr. William Crawford

From "The Ardrossan & Saltcoats Herald" dated Friday 4th September 1964.

DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM CRAWFORD

Mr. William Crawford, general manager in Glasgow of the General Steam Navigation Company, has died at his home, 9 Clarence Drive, Glasgow.
He was 59.

Mr. Crawford was a native of Glasgow but had strong family ties in Arran, and was a former secretary of the Arran Society in Glasgow.

He joined Crawford Duff and Co., Glasgow, agents for the Moss Line of Liverpool, on leaving school, and when the Moss Line and Hutchison Line amalgamated in 1934 he became freight manager.

The Moss Hutchison Line was taken over by the General Steam Navigation Company in 1958, and in 1961 Mr. Crawford was appointed general manager.

Mr. Crawford is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter.
