The Glenlee, a steel-hulled three masted barque, was built by Anderson Rodger at the Bay Yard in Port Glasgow in 1896. After a useful life she was basically a wreck when she was brought back from Spain to Glasgow and restored by the Clyde Maritime Trust and volunteers. The Glenlee is now berthed at the quay beside the Riverside Museum in Glasgow and visitors can go on board to see what life was like on a great sailing ship.
The Riverside Museum's architecture is quite amazing with a whole wall of smokey glass. The architects were Zaha Hadid Associates.
Riverside Museum houses exhibits from Glasgow's old Transport Museum - lots of old cars, trains, trams etc. It even has a replica of an old street - it is a fascinating place to visit and kids love it!
