Bow Fragment Found

A portion of a ship's bow bearing the name City of Glasgow was reported washed ashore in Scotland in October 1854, though its attribution is uncertain.
On 25 October 1854, a portion of the bow of a ship bearing the name City of Glasgow in gilded letters was reported washed ashore at Ballochgair near Campbeltown. However, the attribution is uncertain: another ship named City of Glasgow, of 416 tons, had sailed from the Clyde under Muir towards Calcutta at the end of October, and Lloyd's List reported a head-board bearing the name found in Kilbrannan Sound around the same time. The fragment may therefore belong to that vessel rather than the lost liner.
