I have just visited the Pommern, an iron hulled four masted barque, now a floating museum in Mariehamn harbour, Finnish Aaland Islands. I therefore dispute the claim that Falls of Clyde is the only surviving four-masted sailing ship in the world. There are probably more.... -- User:80.223.251.134 14:35, 26 Aug 2005
According to [1] and [2] she was originally a full rigged ship (i.e. square-rigged on all masts), rerigged as a barque in the early 20th century (i.e. square rigged on the first two or three masts and fore-and-aft rigged on the others), and restored as a full rigged ship. So the distinction is perhaps a bit too pedantic. Gdr 17:49, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
The last word of the first line of verse is presently set, but I can't make sense of "sailing across the set." Sea would make more sense, and would also fit in with the A,A,B,B,C,C,... pattern of rhymes, which set does not. Does anyone know if this could be a typo? -- Badger151 03:27, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello All --
I worked for almost twenty years as a volunteer on the ship Wavertree, a three-masted, full-rigged, iron-hulled ship, moored at South Street Seaport Museum in downtown Manhattan. She's still there, floating away. As a matter of fact, when I first looked at the Falls of CLyde picture, I thought I was looking at the Wavertree. Same paint scheme, same lines (at least as far as I can tell from the photo). Built in 1885 in Wavertree by Leland and Co. Many of us older volunteers are certainly still among the living, and many more newer volunteers are working there right now. In fact, my wife is the Volunteer Coordinator for the Museum.

Could someone pls flesh out which years it was open to the public, and in what form during various stages? We used to go there around 90 or 91, and it was a restaurant/bar! I don't recall even feeling like it was a "museum" of any sort -- just a restaurant/bar aboard a tied-up ship!
When did that end?

Violation of NPOV and undue weight; Jeanie Ainlay is not notable enough for the lead section of this article. You are welcome to represent this manufactured controversy any way you like, but you need to be neutral. Viriditas ( talk) 12:26, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey, recent edits seemed to improve the wording of the article, but raise a concern or two for me also.
The edits changed the intro from "Falls of Clyde is one of the few surviving iron- hulled, four- masted full rigged ship, and the only surviving sail-driven oil tanker in the world." to say that is it is the only surviving one of the first type. That reads better of course, but it is an unsourced new claim, which i presume is FALSE! (By the way, i believe that previous versions of the article had " full rigged ships" with a plural "S". The copy does need improvement.)
Also, lesser issue: now there's a run-on sentence later starting in 1989 and ending years later, about NRHP and NHL designations.
I don't want to just revert the article back, so could the new editor, and/or someone else, please take a look at these? doncram ( talk) 06:23, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
You want to talk surgical alteration of my edits, fine. A categoric revert of all five edits is unwarranted, vast overkill, and simply out of the question. I appreciate your thoughtfulness in the matter. If you are up to a surgical amendment to address your concerns, fine, I'll check back. Perhaps the coming weekend I will have time to give them some attention myself. Do nothing precipitous in the meanwhile. Cheers. Wikiuser100 ( talk) 22:34, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Word has it that the Falls of Clyde has been scuttled out at sea. Can anyone confirm? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.165.46.26 ( talk) 20:14, 3 February 2011 (UTC)
IP Editor 96.49.3.32 added this text to the last paragraph of §History. Doesn't belong there so I've moved it here.

During the second season of Magnum PI, in an episode titled Memories are Forever Part II, a scene takes place on the Falls of Clyde. For a brief moment a brass plate can be seen with the words "Built by Russell & Co. "Falls of Clyde" Port Glasgow Scotland." The show originally aired November 5, 1981. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itocalc ( talk • contribs) 19:40, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
