What visitors say

David Flecher

Came here to relive some childhood memories of mine today, what a blast. It’s an ex cargo ship so the underdecks are a bit bare - however it’s still a magnificent ship and a telling part of Glasgow history! The information panels inside are very informative and very interactive with the youth! Worth the visit!

Despite the expected Scottish weather, my Mom and I really enjoyed our visit! The ship is interactive and educational (although, I couldnt get some of the smell buttons to work). Theres also a great view of the Glasgow city line from the bow.

This ship’s history is ready movie-material with truly unbelievable plot twists and stories. Definitely a mAst-visit (sorry for the pun…!) in Glasgow. Massive shout out to amazing staff/crew whose contagious enthusiasm makes me believe that she will float safely for many generations to come
