Our
October lecture was given by Emily Malcolm, Curator at Riverside Museum, on
thecatalogue of ship models currently in preparation.The collection was
established in the 1870s and has ship
models dating from the time of the Napoleonic wars to the present day. Many of
us will have fond memories of displays of these models in Kelvingrove and in
the Transport Museum and they are now in
the Riverside Museum and in Glasgow museums resource centre. Not only did we
hear of the story of the models and of the original ships but also of the
people who made them. They were skilled craftsmen.
There
will be an opportunity to visit GMRC and see more models in February 2019.
