The hull of a diving bell barge at Newshot Island on the Clyde near Erskine. Built in 1852, it's one of two such vessels built to help deepen the Clyde so large ships could travel right into the heart of the city.

The diving bell was lowered to the seabed via a cut-out the stern, allowing workers to dig out areas which were too hard to be cleared by steam dredgers. Abandoned at Newshot Island at the start of the 20th Century, it's the oldest surviving diving bell vessel in the world.
