An exhibition showcasing model ships opens at the North Lanarkshire Heritage Centre, featuring “Chariots of Steam.” The displays focus on ships associated with the River Clyde, with the collection built by model maker Lachie Stewart. The exhibition includes a range of vessels, from paddle steamers to simpler “Clyde puffers,” reflecting different types of craft associated with Clyde shipbuilding and maritime life.
Organisers say the exhibition runs from 21 May to 17 August. Alongside the models themselves, it highlights the craft behind the work, including the detail and effort involved in creating the ships. Coverage from multiple outlets describes the exhibition as both a display of the finished model ships and a window into Clyde-era shipbuilding traditions, illustrating how different ship types are represented through careful construction. The information provided by the sources is consistent on the exhibition title, location, creator of the models, and the dates of the run.
