When did you last step aboard the Glenlee?
We are so proud of our Historic Tall Ship berthed on the River Clyde. As a visitor attraction we love to share the tales of the sea and the technology that made Glasgow one of the busiest ports in the world.
Having visitors back aboard this week has been amazing and we feel so lucky to have so much to share. We are open seven days a week and it's free to visit. Of course a charity we welcome donations to help maintain the ship and continue to share the experiences of the people who shaped our city.

For #EarthDay2021 the crew take a moment to clean the slip at Kelvin Harbour ahead of opening next Monday.
Did you know the world ‘tidy’ comes from the regular and orderly movement of the tides? Amazing and sad to see what the tide brings in.

Did you know? Stepping onto a ship with the left foot is considered unlucky, so sailors always use their right foot to come aboard. Remember this when visiting the Glenlee!

Well done to Jamie Hunter on passing his IRATA Level 2 course!
IRATA is a rope access scheme which the crew use to safely access some parts of the rig. Jamie is the first member of our crew to reach Level 2. Jamie is seen here supervising another member of the crew when checking the rig last year. We don’t have exact lengths of all the wire aloft but it has got to be in the kilometres range and it all needs checked every year.

Did you know? It was common for pirates to hide their crew below deck in order to better surprise their targets. Ships that had the crew visible on deck were seen as honest - this is where the phrase 'above board' comes from.

It is with sadness that the Team at The Tall Ship Glenlee learned of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh. As a former Naval Officer His Royal Highness was interested in the sea and seafaring and was a supporter of Glenlee. We were proud to have him visit Glenlee although his visit was almost twenty years ago.
In 2001, we recorded the first strike of the Bell. Today, we record Eight Bells at the end of his watch. His support will be much missed.

Did you know? The ships bell was used to mark time and was rang eight times over each four-hour watch. It is traditional at a sailor's funeral to sound a bell eight times to mark their personal end of watch.

Did you know? The term 'knowing the ropes' refers to the fact that ships have miles of ropes in the rigging, and the only way to keep track of what they all did was to remember where each one went. This would take a sailor years to learn.

Today we celebrated the 25th anniversary of Glenlee returning to the Clyde from Spain to begin the restoration process and a new life as a museum! Captain Alistair Miller was part of the crew of three that brought the ship back and has served 25 years on the ship committee. 🥂
Great to have The Arkansas Ramblers performing on the weather deck today as part of Festival of Museums! Fantastic weather for it! ☉
We are so proud of our two students from Information Studies at University of Glasgow, Chen Chen and Levi, who displayed their academic poster presentation based on their work placement within our museum and education department for their Museum Studies Masters degree. Both students have produced fantastic projects that will have a great impact here at The Tall Ship. Well done and thank you for all your hard work!

Some before and after progress photos of our hull survey currently ongoing in the Cargo Hold. All work is being done in preparation for Dry Dock 2021 to ensure her structural stability before she goes.

The Tall Ship at Riverside relies on the generosity of the public to maintain and preserve the ship - if you would like to contribute please donate via our Just Giving page here: www.justgiving.com/clydemaritime

Hi we have tickets for transport museum tomorrow and want to visit yous too do we have to book tickets ?

Can someone please tell me where the photos of the Glenlee's last voyage can been seen? They were wrritten up in a story in the Evening Tims of 25th May after they had been researched by Elizabeth Allen of the Clyde Maritime Trust, and I would like to give the story a mention in the Glasgow & West of Scotland Family History Society page.
