The masts belong to the Glenlee, which was built on the Clyde. The vessel was built as a bulk carrier and first sailed in 1896. In 1922 the vessel was bought by the Spanish Navy. The vessel was modified, and was used as a sail training vessel until 1969. She was then used as a training school till 1981. After which she lay in Seville harbour.
In the early 1900's the Glenlee was bought and returned to Glasgow. The vessel was restored, and opened to the public.
The Glenlee is one of only five remaining Clyde built sailing ships. Three of which are in America and the other is in Finland.
