Great shots, Ron. Thanks too for the narrative. Wow there is a lot of work to be done. What's the estimate on how long it will take?


Thanks John, I haven't heard anything about the proposed finish date, not sure we've got one yet. I will find out though.

As promised, here is the latest update.
This will be a the last one for a while as the whole State is in lock down due to the corona virus.
We only have around 20-25 cases but it pays to be safe and sure.
The last pic shows the permit I was issued to access the opposite dock. The company that use that dock, Svitzer, were truly lovely and have given me access any time I like. They do all the towing (tug boats, etc) of all the shipping in the State and several countries around the world.
The windows and port holes you can see were not there in the ship originally. They were installed when the ship was being used as a hospital ship in one of its later lives.
Would have been dark with 300 passengers swinging from their hammocks without any light. There were four first class cabins at the stern, these will be recreated and furnished just as they were originally.

It is good to see it as is now and it will be very interesting to follow its progress. I grew up in the Adelaide Hills and although I haven't lived in South Australia for over 50 years I still have a soft spot for Adelaide and I am pleased to see that it has been able to obtain this fascinating piece of history. Great photos Ron.
