Several asked for me to keep updating the resto of the ship. Well, yesterday I went down to do my first official photo shoot as the project's official photographer. As you can see there is a lot of work to be done and with no help whatsoever from the government it's going to take longer then it should. Considering the importance of to ship to our State, everyone is amazed that they have given no support.
The ship is of composite construction, metal frame and teak hull. The metal is wrought iron and doesn't suffer like steel as far as corrosion goes. Once the rust scale is removed, it's in remarkable condition.
If you read the first item it will give you a good insight into the ship's history and some of the reasons it's in such a bad state.

Ron, I had thought I commented on the first post about this clipper but can not find the post, so here I am telling you that the set is fantastic and the City of Adelaide could not have picked a better man to do this project justice.

Thanks Ron - looks really good. Wondering though if you can find something for the Nurse to do - she looks bored with no patients poor girl
Cheers JohnR

I was about to cash it in when I saw your post and had to see the update. The ship has an unusual hybrid of steel and wood construction. Lots of work ahead but it cleans up well from what's been done. Really super photos, SX. They picked the right guy to document this.
