This page will be devoted to information, photographs and links about the s v Glenlee, one of the last 5 sailing ships built on the Clyde. The photographs were mainly taken during the Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Race visit to Greenock 30 July-2 August 1999 and on her final voyage up the Clyde on the 4th August 1999.

Very few pages or references deal with the s v Glenlee but I have found the following:-

2. www.dbay.com/Tall/glen.html - brief note of history but does contain data about dimensions and complement. Date 1997?
3. Restoring Glasgow's Windjammer by Colin Castle, Ships Monthly, July 1997 - detailed account of history and initial stages of restoration.
