That's the Govan Graving Docks, No.1, 2, and 3, a repair site for ships, built in between 1869 and 1875.

Here's a pic of a paddle steamer being repaired in inlet no.3, in 1898: https://www.theglasgowstory.com/image/?inum=TGSA01509

Before the Graving Docks, this was the site of an old populated strip of Govan which stretched eastwards from Govan Cross, along what used to be called "Main Street": https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17.044444446563723&lat=55.86074&lon=-4.30152&layers=80&b=1
