The
museum is home to M.V. Kyles, the oldest Clydebuilt vessel still afloat
in the U.K. She is now moored only minutes away from where she was built
by Fullerton's of Paisley in 1863. Kyles is a rare survivor, a representative
of Clyde shipbuilding dating from the 1870s - a period of expansion
of shipbuilding on the west coast of Scotland and in Glasgow.
The M.V. Kyles is currently at our Irvine museum for a maintenance period.
