From the Wikipedia article
Glenlee is a steel-hulled three-masted barque, built as a cargo ship at Port Glasgow under that name in 1896 for Glasgow owners. With later owners she was named Islamount and Clarastella.

Since 1993, carrying her original name, Glenlee has been a museum ship at the Riverside Museum on Pointhouse Quay in the Partick area of Glasgow, known as The Tall Ship at Glasgow Harbour.
