An important part of South Australia's history, brought back from Scotland in a very bad stage, volunteers are working hard to bring her back to her earlier glory. It's worth to visit Port Adelaide South Australia to see #theworldsoldestclippership and when you take the guided tour you see at a certain Porthole the photography donation by #AdelaidesSueSmithPhotographyASSP

So much history behind one ship! This was an impromptu stop for us but so glad we found it. We took a tour led by Peter, who was fantastic and provided tons of information about the history of the ship and how it came be rescued. Definitely recommend seeing the ship and I can’t wait for all the plans for Seaport Village to come together! Wishing you guys the best :)

This is truly amazing! To be able to actually be on a ship that was built in the 1860s and brought immigrants to the colony of SA is brilliant. And what went into getting the ship here to save it being wrecked in Scotland is inspirational. The volunteers who run the tours are knowledgeable and friendly. Great tourist attraction for the Port and for Adelaide.

What a beautiful piece of history. Incredible ship with a history like no other. Val was our tour guide and was amazing!!! He was very informative and answered all of our questions. Thank you again Val, you've made our visit much more enjoyable. We'll see you again when the ship is moved to its new home!

A pretty amazing bit of history, being treated with impressive attention to detail and an almost entirely crowd sourced restoration effort. Well worth the guided tour; Helen (a local volunteer) treated us to an in-depth and extensive tour of the ship. Very much appreciated and enjoyed, by all!

Great visit to learn about 1st skilled immigration to South Australia. The tour was very informative, interesting, personalised, running by passionated volunteer. You can rock up any time, no fixed guided tour but depending on if any tour running. Open to ask as many questions and time.
