About:
The Govan Armada is a fleet of small mailboats, or messages in bottles, made from ‘redeveloped rubbish” pulled from the Govan Dry Docks. The boats have been made by artists and local children in collaboration with Riverside Community Hall.

The Govan Armada is part of a larger public artwork called ‘A Stone’s Throw Away’ by t s Beall, Ben Dembroski, and Ben Rush. The other portion of the project is called The Govan Graving Beacon, an automated light placed on the Docks that flashes messages in Morse Code when sent an SMS text message. www.astonesthrowaway.co.uk www.atypicalroot.com
