Glasgow arrival of Portuguese warship on River Clyde revealed in amazing timelapse video

An amazing timelapse video taken from the front of a Portuguese Navy frigate has given people the chance to experience the sensation of sailing right up the River Clyde into Glasgow.

The video shows the NRP Corte-Real as she makes her way up the river past Greenock and Dumbarton and under the Erskine Bridge, before she then passes Renfrew and Scotstoun prior to berthing at King George V Dock at Shieldhall near to Braehead.

The crew can be seen standing on the ship's forward deck as it makes it way up the river.

The fabulous 40-second clip was shared on Twitter by Marinha, the Portuguese Navy, who tweeted: "NRP Corte-Real, integrated in the permanent naval force of NATO Standing NATO Maritime Group 1, practiced the port of Glasgow, to start its participation in the British Exercise Dynamic Mariner 2021/Joint Warrior 212."

The frigate arrived in Glasgow on September 15 in preparation for NATO exercise Dynamic Mariner-21/Joint Warrior 21-2 off the coast of United Kingdom, before departing for sea again four days later.

The exercise brings together 20 surface ships, two submarines, seven maritime patrol aircraft and other air assets, as well as personnel from Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Romania, Spain, United Kingdom and the United States.
