Actor Sam Neill is being remembered for his interest in “ships, the sea and Scotland” following his death at the age of 78. Multiple outlets report that Neill served as a patron of a charity involved in restoring the Clyde steamer TS Queen Mary, which is currently docked at Govan. The Scotsman notes that his connection to the vessel reflects his personal enthusiasm for maritime themes tied to Scotland. The Daily Record adds that Neill required little encouragement to take on the charity role and that he understood the significance of TS Queen Mary to the restoration effort.

The Belfast Telegraph likewise describes the charity’s remembrance of Neill’s stated affection for ships and Scotland, aligning with the other reports about his patronage and support for the TS Queen Mary restoration at Govan.
