April M. Williams hosts the “Where Are You Today?” Travel Blog. She recently posted a video tour of the Falls of Clyde and an interview with Bruce McEwen, president of the Friends of the Falls of Clyde. The Falls of Clyde, built in 1878, is the only surviving iron-hulled four-masted full rigged ship and the only surviving sail-driven oil tanker in the world. Have you voted for the Falls of Clyde yet? There is still time. Read more after the jump.

Earlier this month we posted that the Friends of the Falls of Clyde have been nominated to receive a grant from Hampton Hotels “Save-A-Landmark” program. The project which receives the most votes gets the funding. The voting will continue through the end of November. Please vote now for the Falls of Clyde. Click here to vote . It costs nothing and could do a world of good. The Falls of Clyde is truly a ship worth saving.
Thanks to Joe Follansbee on the Traditional Sail Professionals Linked In group for pointing out the video.
