Description

Step aboard the Tall Ship Glenlee, a remarkable piece of maritime history docked in Glasgow. Built in 1896, this three-masted barque has sailed the globe, served as a naval training vessel, and now stands as a testament to Glasgow's shipbuilding legacy. Begin your journey by exploring the ship's meticulously restored decks, where you can imagine life at sea over a century ago. Your visit includes access to various exhibitions detailing the ship's storied past, from its days as a British cargo vessel to its time with the Spanish Navy. Discover the craftsmanship of the famous Clydebuilt steel hull and learn about the shipyards of the Clyde. Don't miss the chance to relax at the onboard café, offering a range of refreshments. Conclude your visit by browsing the nautical-themed gift shop for unique souvenirs. The Glenlee is moored alongside the Riverside Museum, making it a perfect addition to your day of exploration in Glasgow. The ship is accessible to most visitors, with lifts and facilities available, though some areas may have limited access due to the ship's historic nature.
