City Of Glasgow Credits

• The true pioneer ocean-going steamship, the prototype of every liner now afloat, the City of Glasgow.....designed to demonstrate that an ocean steamer could carry passengers at well below the paddle fare, together with a fair quantity of cargo, and yet operate to the benefit of their owners without financial aid. [British Passenger Lines of the Five Oceans, Commander C.R. Vernon Gibbs]
• In the summer of 1849, Tod & Macgregor started construction on its breakthrough screwship City of Glasgow......In her hull, screw, engine machinery and internal accomodations, the City of Glasgow was novel enough to please the purest engineer. [The Ocean Railway [Transatlantic in USA), Stephen Fox]
