02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Clyde Naval Heritage aims to preserve the River Clyde’s shipbuilding legacy by creating a Heritage Museum Dockyard that tells the story of the people, yards and ships that shaped the river’s naval and commercial history. At the centre of the project is HMS Ambuscade/PNS Tariq, an Amazon-class frigate donated by the Government of Pakistan. Her story will be shared through the experiences of those who built and served on her in both the UK and Pakistan. The museum will also feature the Clyde Naval and Commercial Shipbuilding Collection, the Falklands Conflict and the Type 21 Fleet, giving visitors insight into shipyard life and naval service. We are engaging with government, education and commercial partners while promoting the project locally across all mediums. Our long-term vision is to utilise our heritage to regenerate neglected riverside areas, helping create opportunities through jobs, education and enterprise.
