The Archibald Russell was withdrawn from service in 1948 and was broken up in 1949. Its bell can now be seen on the Glenlee Tall Ship in Glasgow.

The rather beautiful bell of the Archibald Russell. Constructed by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company in Greenock in 1905, it was one of the last square-rigged sailing ships built on the Clyde.
