Ship "Falls of Clyde", Hawaii Maritime Center,Pier 7, Honolulu, Honolulu County, HI

Significance: Falls of Clyde, a National Historic Landmark vessel, is the world's only surviving four-masted, full-rigged ship and the only surviving sailing oil tanker left afloat in the world. Built as a bulk cargo carrier under British flag during a shipbuilding boom inspired by increased trade with American ports, she was later sold to American owner, William Matson, and fitted for the Hawaiian trans-pacific sugar trade. In 1907 she was fitted out as a sailing oil tanker for Associated Oil Company until 1920. She was later down-rigged and towed to Ketchikan, Alaska where she served as a floating filling station for fishing vessels over the next thirty-seven years. Saved with the help of Hawaiian school children, Falls of Clyde is now exhibited at the Hawaii Maritime Center where she interprets maritime trade.
