TS Queen Mary returns to Glasgow 9th November 2016.

Here we see the TS Queen Mary being towed up the River Clyde after an absence of 39 years.
She is being moved to her temporary winter layup berth next to the Glasgow Science Center at the entrance of the much reduced Prince's Dock in Glasgow. She is under tow by the Clyde Marine tugs Battler and Biter.
TS Queen Mary is now berthed a stones throw away from PS Waverley's home berth.
The TS Queen Mary arrived back in her home waters of the Clyde on the 15th May 2016, following an absence of 25 years. This was after a second career as a floating restaurant on the Victoria Embankment on the River Thames, where she remained until 2009. She had to vacate her berth at the Victoria Embankment and she was towed to Tilbury docks on the 9th November 2009 where she lay forlornly for the next 7 years.
Since then, she has had 2 previous owners and was facing an uncertain future, before being saved by “The Friends of TS Queen Mary”.
Since her return to the Clyde, “The Friends of TS Queen Mary” have already raised £150,000 which will cover the cost of this dry docking, which is the first stage of an estimated £2,000,000 restoration, as a static heritage destination on the banks of the River Clyde, near Glasgow.
On the 17th August 2017 the Friends of TS Queen Mary announced
that the TS Queen Mary will be moored permanently at the Glasgow Science Centre, where she will serve as a heritage destination and education/training centre.
TS Queen Mary will be berthed "bow on" to the Millennium Bridge, where she will be both connected to the SSE Hydro and SECC complexes and also right in the heart of Glasgow’s media village. In this location, she will welcome up to 150,000 visitors and students each year.

Built in my home town and my employer for one year, when I left school in 1961.

I went on the Queen Mary years ago.
I have a photograph of my sister and I as it was passing through the Kyles of Bute

[@johannesfykse1998]

is this ship going on steam agen 😀👍?

[@CaledonianSpirit]

Unfortunately no. All machinery and boilers have been removed.

[@russellmclean5580]

It is unlikely Johannes, but not out of the question. It would cost quite a lot to bring the TS Queen Mary uo to required standards for steaming around Scotland again. For the current phase it is likely the ship will remain as a static exhibit.
