The Tall Ship in Glasgow

摘要

I wish to expand on several points made by John Hannavy in his article on Glenlee (SM, Sept 2013). From the outset, the focus of restoration has been to return the barque to original specification, apart from the auxiliary propulsion and generator equipment. Elsewhere we have replicated as best we can the original 'build' standards. These include the (First) Mate's cabin on the port side of the poop and the nearby Officers' Saloon, where Master and Officers dined, relaxed, undertook ship's business and hosted visitors. While they shared the crew's food as prepared in the galley, it would have been enhanced with condiments and additional (invariably tinned) delicacies stored, with crockery, cutlery and glassware, in the Steward's Pantry, also on the port side next to the Saloon.
