You may have read or seen on TV about how we brought this old clipper ship out from the UK recently...she's the sister ship to the famous Cutty Sark that also had a big history with South Australia.
Considering she's 150 years old and has been sunk a couple of times, the hull is in remarkably good condition as it's made from Teak...the stele frame has suffered quite a bit though...it's going to take a lot of time and a lot of money to restore her...

With relation to the ship go to utube and search captain Johnson and the Peking around Cape Horn in 1933. Mind blowing.
