The Ship Yard Trust is launching the engagement phase of their project to design and build an iconic venue to celebrate the shipbuilding and marine engineering heritage of the Clyde. The Trust’s mission statement encapsulates that aspiration.

The great industrial achievements of the River Clyde in steam propulsion, engineering and shipbuilding are widely known not just in the UK but around the world. Despite this, there is no single location on the River where this world-class story can be told. The time has come to acknowledge the vision of those who established these industries, of the innovation central to their success and to the individual contribution made by hundreds of thousands of men and women over many decades who toiled through good times and bad to manufacture remarkable products and make the name Clydebuilt synonymous with excellence. The Ship Yard Trust has been formed to focus attention on these achievements.
