Falls of Clyde Ship, Honolulu
Facts and practical information
Falls of Clyde is the last surviving iron-hulled, four-masted full-rigged ship, and the only remaining sail-driven oil tanker. Designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1989, she is now a museum ship in Honolulu, but her condition has deteriorated. She is currently not open to the public. In September 2008, ownership was transferred to a new nonprofit organization, the Friends of Falls of Clyde. Efforts to raise $1.5 million to get the ship into drydock did not succeed. On February 7, 2019 the Hawaii Department of Transportation put the ship up for auction. In November 2021 HDOT accepted a bid from Save Falls of Clyde – International to transport the ship to Scotland for restoration. ()
