The Falls Of Clyde



The Falls of Clyde is the last four-masted tall ship in existence built in 1878, Glasgow, Scotland. She is on the list as a National Historic landmark. She is owned by Bishop Museum of Honolulu Hawaii and is moored at one of their satellite museums the Hawaii Maritime Center. She is going to be sunk this month if they do not receive donations to save her. This huge amount of money that is said to be needed to save the ship is ridiculous. It is a ploy to mislead the public into thinking that nothing can be done to save the ship (she could also be put in concrete where she is berthed at much less cost). The San Diego and Texas Seaport Museum have similar ships also built in Scotland, and a year older than the Falls of Clyde. Both of these museums experienced in dry docking and saving ships to our knowledge have not been contacted by Bishop Museum.
