Falls of Clyde needs your help

[anteros_lmc]

Hopefully some of you will have picked this up from joyful_molly and weeboopiper but just in case you haven't, here it is again.

The Falls of Clyde is the world's only surviving iron-hulled four-masted full rigged ship and she is Clyde built to boot. She is berthed in Hawaii and has been nominated for Hampton Hotels' All American Landmarks programme. The aim of this programme is to renovate one historic landmark in each American state. However Falls of Clyde has competition from two other Hawaiian attractions so I'd greatly appreciate it if you could go along to the competition website and vote for Falls of Clyde

This video was shared by weeboopiper, who is putting so much time and effort into saving the Falls of Clyde.

Falls of Clyde is a unique and beautiful old ship that deserves to be preserved for future generations however I also have a personal interest in her survival as she is one of the last remaining Clyde built ships of this type. Her sister ship the Glenlee, a smaller three masted barque, also survives and is preserved as a museum on the River Clyde in Glasgow. I used to be able to see the Glenlee's masts from my living room window and I still visit her regularly. Her shrouds and masts also appear in several of my icons. Glenlee's fate is now as secure as these things can be and it would be wonderful if her sister ship could also be granted the care and attention she deserves.

Thank you very much for passing the word.

One small correction, that video is not mine. Don't want to take credit for someone else's effort!

I will die if Bishop Museum wins. :( Let there be some justice in this world.

You're very welcome indeed, it's the least I can do. I've changed the credit on the video.

I will die if Bishop Museum wins.
That really would be adding insult to injury. Here's hoping though!

Done - and heres hoping.It would be a fine project to win. Was so sad not to be able to go aboard the Glenlee this recent visit to Glasgow - next time however !
And have already enjoying your posted fic in its finisihed form - have now posted a little something in return as it were - its all your fault after all!

Thanks! Greatly appreciated.

You will definitely have to come back to Glasgow to visit the Glenlee. I've just discovered that one of the really innovative local theatre companies are doing a production of the Wreck of the Demeter aboard the ship next month so I think I will have to get tickets for that!

Live theatre on a ship ? :D you must certainly go to that and tell us all 1
