The captain's gig on the Glenlee, Glasgow's tall ship. A replica of the original, this small boat was the captain's personal transport and would have been used by him to go ashore when at anchor, visit other ships or to check out potentially dangerous routes through shallow coastal waters.
@MaybeMyMonkeys This particular ship had this gig, which was light, fast and a bit prettier, and then two larger, heavier and plainer lifeboats which could also be used to transport more people and heavier stuff around, as well as being there om case of emergencies.
