On 3 December 1896, Glenlee first slipped into the water at Port Glasgow—beginning a remarkable life that would take her across the world’s oceans. Over the decades that followed, she sailed under several flags, weathered countless voyages, and served in roles her original builders could never have imagined.
In 1993, nearly a century after her launch, Glenlee finally came home to the Clyde. Since then, she has been lovingly restored and cared for as one of Scotland’s great maritime treasures.
As we mark 129 years since her launch, we invite you to celebrate with us by exploring a selection of photographs capturing Glenlee throughout her long and storied life.
