The interior of a workshop at Kelvin Marine in Dobbies Loan c 1900. The body of a partly-built boat can be seen in the background.
Storage compartments for stock run along the side of one wall. The men have used the facing of wire mesh to hang up their bunnets and jackets - clearly, staff facilities such as lockers were not provided in those days!
