A visit to Glenlee takes you back in time to experience what life was like on the high seas. Visit the galley, ring the bell, and explore the depths of the ship. Where did Glenlee sail. Experience a fun and exciting day out, and discover what life was really like aboard a tall ship. Restored to her former glory, Glenlee is one of only five Clydebuilt steel sailing ship still afloat, and the only one in the UK. Free to enter, The Tall Ship Glenlee is an independent museum, dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the ship, and the maritime history of the area, for the benefit of the local community and visitors to Glasgow.

Sitting directly outside the Riverside Museum, although quite separate and with an entrance charge, the Tall Ship is a three-masted, steel-hulled barque built by a shipyard at Port Glasgow and launched in 1896. Named the Glenlee, she started her seagoing career as a cargo vessel, sailed round the world four times in the course of her work, served as a training ship for the Spanish navy from 1922 to 1969, changed name on several occasions, then was eventually berthed in Seville and allowed to fade away. Fortunately a naval architect spotted her potential and the Clyde Maritime Trust brought her home more than 20 years ago. Now fully restored, the Glenlee is a historically important museum ship and one of only five Clyde-built sailing ships still afloat. Her story would justify a visit on its own – the chance to look around this striking vessel is a handsome bonus.

Museum on a former cargo ship, The Glenlee, one of only five Clyde built ships still afloat in the world today and the only one of her kind in the UK. A mini cinema and under 5’s play area in the cargo hold is great fun for little ones.
