A tall ship that was built and launched in Montrose 104 years ago has returned to its birth town.
The SV Alvei, a three-masted schooner, arrived at Montrose harbour on Sunday afternoon.
The Alvei was originally built and launched the London & Montrose Shipbuilding Company on May 20, 1920, where it was named Tweenways.
Built to operate as a herring drifter, she was later used by the Royal Navy as a minesweeper during World War II. After the war she was sold up to Denmark and then Norway as a coastal freighter.
Under the stewardship of Captain Geoffrey Jones, the ship is now stationed in America. Its current voyage around the world is expected to last a number of years.
The crew plan on staying in Montrose over the next few days as they plan their journey towards Norway.
