Further information about the ship's build and career can be found here, including the fact that her launch by the Prince of Wales was a civic holiday for the people of Glasgow.
Incidentally, Clydebuilt, my usually reference source the specifics of a ship built on the Clyde has been experiencing technical difficulties this week so fingers crossed they get it sorted ok as I don't know what I'd do without their database!
