A CAMPAIGN to save historic sailing ship Falls of Clyde is surging ahead and the vessel could be back in Inverclyde by the summer.
Save Falls of Clyde International is battling to rescue the iconic vessel, which was built in Port Glasgow in 1878.
The last surviving four-masted iron hull sailing ship in the world is currently afloat in Honolulu harbour in Hawaii, but under threat of being scrapped.
David O’Neill, chair of the campaign group, has written to the council’s environment, regeneration and resources director Scott Allan, seeking support to bring the boat home to Inverclyde.
He insists that the ship could even return to Scotland as soon as July.
