From a British cargo vessel, an Italian ship of mystery, to a sail training icon of the Spanish Navy, the Tall Ship Glenlee has adapted to many changes over a 128 year history.
The sail-powered cargo vessel circumnavigated the globe several times, underpinned by the famous Clydebuilt steel hull that has far outlived the original purpose when the ship found new life as a naval classroom for building maritime skills for over 70 years in Spain.
Threatened with scrappage, the Clyde Maritime Trust bought the ship with an ambitious restoration plan in 1993, which has enabled a new life for the ship in Glasgow. The Tall Ship Glenlee continues to share stories of the people and places of the ship while providing a unique space for learning, heritage and entertainment in the city.
