The Tall Ship at Riverside

The Glenlee is one of only five Clyde-built sailing ships still afloat, and it nearly didn't happen; launched in 1896, she carried cargo for 20 years before spending decades as a training ship for the Spanish navy. Recovered from the brink of scrapping in 1990 and restored to her original glory, she's a floating museum and venue-for-hire with a programme of talks, lectures and costume days.
