See replies #5 and #6 which make it unlikely that there was a 'nautical college' in Glasgow in the 1820s or 1830s.

Yes, that's why I referred to late 1800's.........

Leith Nautical College established as Leith Nautical School in 1855

Sorry, *Sandra*, my reply was really for the previous post-
Thank you for the replies.
I agree that there was some sort of college there and will keep on looking.
