The Tall Ship Glenlee is owned and operated by an independent charity, The Tall Ship Glenlee Trust.
The Tall Ship Glenlee is now a paid attraction. Up until last year, the iconic and much-loved visitor attraction on the River Clyde, was the only free-to-visit historic vessel or museum attraction of its kind in the UK. The Trust, which runs and maintains the ship, made the decision to add an admission charge following careful analysis of the challenging funding landscape and rising costs. The funds will be used to fill the financial gap the ship faces, cover its running costs, deliver the best possible experience onboard for all and allow the independent charity to be more self-sufficient and better plan for the future.
While we strive to make as much of the ship as possible accessible, some areas cannot be modified without damaging the vessel’s historic fabric.
