15:50 hours. Could this be the River Nile in Egypt with two Pyramids, maybe for King Tutenkhamun and Queen Cleopatra, in the distance ? And maybe not. October 2024 in the River Clyde at Glasgow, the tugs SVITZER MILFORD and ANGLEGARTH head upriver for King George V Dock to sail the bulk carrier STAR HARMONY. Between the tugs are the prominent composite mainmasts of the two Type 26 Frigates HMS GLASGOW and HMS CARDIFF, being fitted out for the British Royal Navy at the BAe Systems yard at Elderslie, Glasgow.

Tugs SVITZER MILFORD and ANGLEGARTH pass the giant Braehead Shopping Mall on their way upriver to STAR HARMONY at King George V Dock, Glasgow. The tall yellow-coloured hammerhead crane in the distance is the last relic of the once busy Barclay, Curle & Co. Ltd., Clydeholm Shipyard at Whiteinch in Glasgow.
16:35 Bulk carrier STAR HARMONY, towed by tugs ANGLEGARTH, SVITZER MILFORD and SVITZER WARDEN, comes slowly astern from berth 10 King George V Dock, Glasgow, and is canted (= turned) off the Dock entrance to now face downriver in the River Clyde.
16:49 STAR HARMONY is now facing downriver, and tug ANGLEGARTH leads the convoy with tug SVITZER WARDEN, sailing astern and towing at the bow of the bulk carrier. Tug SVITZER MILFORD is towing at the stern but at the moment was out of sight. At the extreme right of the image is the bulk carrier AGIA MONI at the Riverside Quay, Shieldhall, Glasgow.
