Glenlee is a three-masted steel-hulled barque built in 1896 for Glasgow owners. There are only five Clydebuilt sailing ships in the world that are still afloat. Restored and refurbished, she is now back to her former glory and serves as a museum ship moored at the Riverside Museum, located on Pointhouse Quay in Glasgow.
A visit aboard Glenlee offers visitors opportunity to get to know more about life on the high seas. They can visit the galley, explore the cargo hold, take the wheel, and learn about her cargo, the ports she sailed, and the hard life of crew. The Tall Ship offers special events with a maritime theme, including tours, school visits, talks, and volunteer days. There is even a mini cinema aboard the Glenlee, and a tiny tots' play area in the cargo hold.
