Clyde-built ship set to return from Hawaii

-

A Clyde-built ship is to return home after years spent as a visitor attraction in Hawaii.

Built in 1878 in Port Glasgow, the Falls of Clyde is currently moored in Honolulu harbour.

A group campaignin­g to bring the ship back to Scotland said it had agreed a deal with a Dutch company to collect it in February next year.

The plan is to restore the Falls of Clyde and use it as an education and training vessel. The Save Falls of Clyde campaign hopes a mooring can be secured in Greenock near to where it was built.
