Next to the Riverside Museum of Transport, is the 245ft long Glenlee Sailing Vessel, built in 1896, here on the River Clyde.

Known now as the Tall Ship, she is a great Free attraction that allows you to explore her Living Quarters, and Engine Room. The lower decks also have to be seen to be believed, as they run from almost the bow to the stern, with little supports to obstuct your view. There is a Cafe in the lower decks.

The Glenlee was a Bulk Cargo Carrier that circumnavigated the globe four times, passing round the dangerous Cape Horn 15 times. She was bought by the Spanish Navy in 1922, and operated as a Sail Training Vessel until 1969. She was then operated as a Training School, until being laid up at Seville in 1981. FREE Admission.
