The Falls of Clyde was built by Russell and Co. at Port Glasgow, Scotland. She was launched on 12 December 1878 (140 years ago). She was originally a full-rigged ship but was later converted to a barque.

Hi John,
You’re certainly not alone, since the ship has been a part of the waterfront for so long.
