Ahoy maties! Discover what life was really like aboard a tall ship. The last of only five Clydebuilt sailing vessels still afloat in the world available for restoration, the Glenlee launched in December 1896. During her long career she circumnavigated the world four times and the fearsome Cape Horn on 15 voyages. Restored to her former glory, a visit takes you back in time to experience what life was like on the high seas. Visit the galley, take the wheel, explore the cargo hold. Where did the Glenlee sail? What did she carry? What did the crew eat? What was it like to command a ship in mid ocean? Kids also love the shop, a treasure chest of all things piratey.
