A large cargo ship destined for Glasgow ran aground along the banks of the River Clyde yesterday morning, sparking an emergency response from the coastguard.
The Wilson Blyth, which sails under the flag of Barbados, got into trouble in the water at Erskine around 11am after the vessel ran aground just metres from the shore while attempting to sail upward toward the city.
Heart-stopping footage, which was shared on social media, shows the moment the ship came to an abrupt halt in the Renfrewshire town, with the impact of the stop causing waves to momentarily engulf the bottom of the vessel.
