This article is about the full-rigged ship Falls of Clyde. For the Scottish waterfalls and wildlife reserve, see Falls of Clyde (waterfalls).
Falls of Clyde is the last surviving iron-hulled, four-masted full-rigged ship, and the only remaining sail-driven oil tanker. She was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 1989, but deregistered in 2024 due to her condition. Hawaii is seeking proposals to scrap the ship. She is currently not open to the public.
