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 have a description and color 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. A stunning collection of photographs complements 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 of the whole history of the ship. Review: Gorgeous book. Worth it even if the binding cracks - This book is crammed with beautiful photos of incredible models. I wanted it for its content, and that is perfect. The paper and coatings used mean the pages are heavier than this type of binding can really handle. Even if it arrives perfect, standing upright on a shelf will cause the binding to fail. The solution is to lay the book flat when in storage. Ideally, such a heavy tome should have been given a sewn binding, and a cloth bound cover. I love my copy as it is though. As I say, I wanted it for the contents, which are awesome. Any model builder or lover of model artistry and maritime history would love this book. Review: Fabulously detailed ship model catalogue. - The recent spate of ship model catalogues from various museums during the last decade are wonderfully beautiful and detailed. This one now takes its rightful place among the catalogues of this under appreciated art form. I can only hope other museums will publish similar summaries of their precious collections for all of us to appreciate. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,402,552 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #153 in Ship Pictorials #968 in Model Building #1,153 in Ship History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 62 Reviews | ## Images ![Glasgow Museum the Ship Models: A History and Complete Illustrated Catalogue - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xAlLJEkiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous book.
