The Tall Ship, the amazing Glenlee, moored on the River Clyde beside the Riverside Museum in Glasgow, not all that far from where she was built in 1896. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/glasgow/tallship/index.html

Rusty Pelican outside the Glasgow Humane Society House on Glasgow Green. It was created in 1986 by George Parsonage from scrap metal recovered from the nearby River Clyde. As well as being an accomplished sculptor, for more than 40 years George worked for the Glasgow Humane Society (as his father did before him) and in that time he rescued more than 1,500 people from the same river.

Emblem of the Glasgw Humane Society on its headquarters on Glasgow Green. Founded in 1790, by members of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, the Glasgow Humane Society aims to preserve human life in and around the waterways of Greater Glasgow. At 34 years older than the RNLI, it arguably operates the oldest continuing lifeboat service in the world.

Still happily sailing "doon the watter" of the magnificent Clyde Coast, and all around Scottish and UK waters.
