Scottish Maritime Museum
Discover how William Denny and Brothers’ innovative and experimental approach to shipbuilding made waves in the shipbuilding industry from the 1800s to 1963
See the world’s first commercial ship model experiment tank, the length of a football pitch and enter the world of the bygone ship designer in William Denny’s drawing office to find out how to design your own ship.
Learn about Denny Brothers, builders of the famous Cutty-Sark and inventors of the Denny helicopter, Denny hovercraft and Denny-Brown stabilisers.
Discover ship models, photographs and historic objects in the Propeller shop, before experiencing the working environment of the traditional model makers, clay moulders and carpenters in 1882. Then try your hand at smoothing and carving a real wax hull model.
