Almost all of the 676 models, which range from elegant cruise liners to humble Clyde puffers, and from simple half-hull design models to magnificent display models, were produced by Clyde shipyards or Glasgow-based ship owners. It is the representation of models from such a distinct geographical area, together with the quality of the models, which makes this collection so exceptional. As well as general chapters about the collection, each of the 676 models has a description and colour photograph. Some of the most famous ships launched on the Clyde are represented, such as RMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Hood, as well models of historically significant vessels such as the first European passenger steamer Comet and the world's first commercial turbine-powered vessel King Edward. The ship models form one of Glasgow Museums most popular and most viewed collections, and enquiries about them come in from all over the world. A stunning collection of photographs will complement newly researched and in-depth chapters. The book will give readers worldwide a chance to see images of the models, a sense of the breadth and importance of the collection and a deepened understanding about the whole history of the ship. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 28.58 x 3.81 x 27.31 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | Isbn 10 | 1526757524 | | Isbn 13 | 978-1526757524 | | Item Weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print Length | 374 pages | | Publication Date | 5 Nov. 2019 | | Publisher | Seaforth Publishing | ## Images ![Glasgow Museums: The Ship Models: A History & Complete Illustrated Catalogue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xAlLJEkiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superbly put together *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 25 September 2020* Whilst the price may seem high - this is a specialist substantial book showing superb ship builder models. If you appreciate museum quality ship models and cannot get to Glasgow or Greenwich, this is for you (and me) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Colour Catalog of Glasgow Museum's 676 Ship models *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 May 2020* 372 colour pages, 295mm (w) x 285mm (h), The full ships and close up detailing are all well photographed. Relatively text rich first 147 pages, photography there being more general including some of contemporary workshops. Then 220 pages of the catalog itself, most pages showing 3-4 full sized models, recto and verso. Some single models or pairs are shown over 2 full pages, centrefold style. A delight to browse. More than a mere coffee table decoration, it delves into the links between the Clyde dockyards, its builders, the museum and modelling. There are 4 sides of foot notes at the end and 9 sides of index.Chapters:1. Models in shipbuilding2. Professional modelmaking3. Amateur models4. Ship models and exhibitions5. Building the collectionThen the catalogThe collection is of ships from 1727 4th Rates and frigates, Navy Board Model style, to modern container ships and dredgers. Where they have an exhibition history, it is detailed. There is a list of model exhibitions from 1840-1969 at the start of the catalog. The ships themselves have details of their fates, where they are known.This hefty tome makes a memorable present for anyone interested who has room to keep this. It has alot to please all tastes: Historian, Glasgow local, professional, artist, modeller or lay afficionado. Only perhaps the National Maritime museum Catalog can rival it as a beautiful book in the genre, but even that hardly surpasses this.RECOMMENDED ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spot on book *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 February 2020* Very good and well illustrated book, a little upset it is now sold with 30% off direct from the publishers, sort of spoilt it ! How ever, a great book and recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/113276365-glasgow-museums-the-ship-models-a-history-and-complete-illustrated](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/113276365-glasgow-museums-the-ship-models-a-history-and-complete-illustrated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-05*
