| Built in 1896, the Glenlee circumnavigated the globe four times transporting cargo around the world.
In 1922, she was purchased by the Spanish Navy who used her as a training ship until 1981. After this, she was laid up in Seville Harbour where she was largely forgotten and later sank due to vandalism. In 1992, the Glenlee was sold at auction, and purchased by the Clyde Maritime Trust. A year later she was towed back to the Clyde to begin a seven-year restoration process. In 1999, The Tall Ship was opened to the public as a visitor attraction. Today, she attracts more than 30,000 visitors a year. The s.v. Glenlee is a magical sight and her rich history, depicted on board, gives visitors a real sense of what it was like to live and work on board in her sea-faring days. As well as being one of Glasgow’s leading visitor attractions, The Tall Ship at Glasgow Harbour offers: * School tours * Function hire * Children’s birthday parties * Volunteering opportunities * Events programme |
