Firth of Clyde archive

Quiet shores of Inverclyde

A documentary stills and short film archive recording honest working rhythms, harbor conversations, and coastal daylight across Greenock, Gourock, and Port Glasgow.

Selected visual records

Three documentary chronicles

Gourock outdoor pool

Morning lane swimmers

Saltwater lap swimmers take to open water under diffuse dawn light while the Dunoon ferry cuts through river mist across the Firth.

Victoria Harbour

The slipway nightshift

Longform portraits of timber joiners and marine mechanics maintaining working boat hulls under warm sodium lamps and gentle tide shifts.

Coronation Park

Tideline bench stories

Recorded audio memoirs paired with tender 35mm stills of lifelong neighbors sharing thermoses along the riverfront path in Port Glasgow.

Field notes

The river water changes color five times before midday, but the people leaning against the slipway rail still take their time to ask after your kin.
