Clydebuilt Scottish Maritime Museum |
||||||||||
|
The story of Glasgow and the River Clyde is brought vividly to life at Clydebuilt, the Scottish Maritime Museum at Braehead. A tour of the dynamic and award winning attraction takes you from the 18th century tobacco lords to the present day, using audio-visual, hands on and interactive techniques. You can navigate your own ship, safely load your cargo, take the role of a merchant, operate an engine and go aboard the 130 year old coaster "Kyles".
The museum is home to M.V. Kyles, the oldest Clydebuilt vessel still afloat in the U.K. She is now moored only minutes away from where she was built by Fullerton's of Paisley in 1863. Kyles is a rare survivor, a representative of Clyde shipbuilding dating from the 1870s - a period of expansion of shipbuilding on the west coast of Scotland and in Glasgow. Clydebuilt is ideal for kids young and old wanting an exciting day out. Go to Clydbuilt, have fun and learn about Glasgow!
