What a gem of a find. Amazing and unique glassware. John and Anne are so talented and were so welcoming that it made our visit exceptional. We loved everything so much we returned a couple of days later to buy some more fabulous items, this time for Christmas presents, before going home. We will certainly visit again if in the area for another holiday. I cannot wait to get home to display the items we bought for ourselves. A must visit.

Scottish Maritime Museum, Dumbarton

The Denny Ship Model Experiment Tank, part of the Scottish Maritime Museum, is a fantastic collection of working exhibits, models and artefacts based in the last remaining building of Alexander Denny and Sons one of the Clydes most famous and innovative shipyards.

Reviewed By cameronag - Rosneath, United Kingdom

William Denny built ships on the Clyde at Dumbarton for 120 years. This museum, sister to the Scottish Maritime Museum at Irvine, is the last surviving element of the business which built the Cutty Sark, the TS Queen Mary, and many other familiar vessels. The museum occupies the buildings which were once the principal design offices and model test tank. The test tank is the prime exhibit, being 100m long and dominating the building. This was the first commercially operated hydrodynamic test tank in the world (the first ever was built in Torquay by the Admiralty). Even today this is considered the 'mother tank' of all test tanks and a bottle of Denny tank water is used to 'christen' any new tank across the world. Despite, or because of, its size the tank is a relatively small part of the experience as the really interesting stuff is the work that went on around it. Each visit starts with a personal introduction to the facility, beginning with the model-making and testing process. Beyond that there are the trace analysers and the draughting offices, to explore, together with exhibits explaining the history of the site and the company, the work done on propeller and cutting edge hull design, and models of some of the landmark craft Denny's was responsible for, such as the D2 experimental passenger hovercraft. This really is the ultimate steam-punk museum experience. Don't just trundle arround the Glasgow Transport Museum, take a trip 'doon the watter' to Dumbarton as well
