Save Falls of Clyde - International
5th July
Last-gasp plan to bring historic ship back to Scotland
A LAST chance to save the Scottish-built historic sailing ship the Falls of Clyde appears to be succeeding as the State of Hawaii’s Department of Transportation has welcomed a Scottish plan to return the vessel from Honolulu Harbour to the Clyde.
Launched in Port Glasgow in 1878, Falls of Clyde is the last remaining iron-hulled four-masted sailing ship anywhere in the world.
Rusting badly, she has been declared dangerous by the Harbors Division of the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation (DoT), who wanted to tow her out of the harbor and sink her to become a diving tourism attraction.
