Long ago, I recall seeing the 1874 "James Craig" as a rusting hulk on a Tasmanian beach. A marvellous effort by the Sydney Heritage Fleet saw her restored to seagoing condition. It is now possible to take day trips on her. Best viewed large. Wishing everyone a Happy Fence Friday and a great weekend.

The James Craig is a three masted steel hulled barque built in 1875. I remember seeing her, long ago, as a rusting hulk on a beach in Tasmania. Finally she was refloated, towed to Sydney, and restored by volunteers. She now is at the Sydney Maritime Museum and does regular trips out to sea. Much more info on her here.
