A friend has asked me the following, can anybody give a definitive answer? Was the boat named "Pride of the Clyde"," Pride o' the Clyde", or "Pride o' t' Clyde"? Thanx.

I am the daughter of the late Charles Kerr son of Archie Kerr late of Archlea Tarbert Loch Fyne. The boat was indeed The Pride of the Clyde - Alexis Lloyd nee Kerr
The Kerrs fished the herring paired with the Johnson family. My Dad Charlie was the ships cook until he left the village to join the police. I think the boat was sold late 50s early 60s when I was about 7 or so. The last brother, my uncle John died just a few years ago.
