Holds the SV Glenlee.
Glasgow’s transport museum on the Clyde, opened 2011 in a building designed by Zaha Hadid, holding the tall ship Glenlee moored alongside. The Glenlee is a steel-hulled, three-masted barque built on the Clyde in 1896, one of five surviving Clyde-built sailing ships afloat worldwide. The museum covers shipbuilding, locomotives, and Glasgow’s role as a shipbuilding center on the River Clyde.
