The Tall Ship Glenlee
Step aboard The Tall Ship Glenlee and discover a vessel whose peaceful
berth on the River Clyde belies an extraordinary 129-year journey across the
world’s oceans. Built on this very river, Glenlee has travelled thousands of
miles, survived shifting tides of history, and carried generations of sailors
through adventure, danger, and change.
Our guided tours bring her remarkable story to life. Explore the
multiple layers of her past as you move through the ship’s evocative spaces:
- A global cargo carrier during the
high-risk years surrounding the First World War, braving some of the
world’s most treacherous trade routes.
- A platform for innovation in the 1920s,
when she became a training ship and a catalyst for new maritime
technologies.
- A witness to political turmoil in
mid-twentieth-century Spain, reshaped by conflict, adaptation, and
resilience.
- And finally, a triumphant return home, restored and cared for on the River Clyde almost a century after she first set sail.
