The Anchor Line was one of the great shipping companies of the Clyde. It was famed for its sleek, luxurious liners operating between Glasgow and New York, and for its smart steamers sailing to India. For many years its beautiful, black-funnelled transatlantic liners were the largest ships sailing regularly from the Clyde, and they came to symbolize the romance of Glasgow's powerful shipping and shipbuilding industries.
