Clipper Ship City of Adelaide — Attraction in Adelaide

Haven't visited this clipper yet but I 'm glad that the City of Adelaide is back where she belongs. I'm hoping that the restoration will start soon. Hope to see all the sails & rigging are made locally. It depends on the restoration committee if they need volunteers to help with the resourcing all the tools & volunteers time(possibly over many weekends). By the time the restoration has been completed & put back on display for all South Australians to see. I think all of us will be proud of her presence. Good luck everyone involved in her restoration. Make South Australia proud of your achievement so far. Make the "One & All" jealous! Hope to see the "City of Adelaide" into a working clipper like the "Young Endeavour". It would be great to see her working out on water,teaching our youth whats its like to be on a real working clipper. If I had the chance to work on a clipper,I would happily jump on board & learn all about the working of this sort of Clipper in the past (without using motorised versions).

The dedication of the volunteers in preserving and sharing this important piece of maritime history is...

I always used to make a point of going to see the Carrick when she was moored in Glasgow. I never had the pleasure of boarding her though. I was sad when she was badly neglected and even sank a couple of times. I went over to see her when she was lying in a bad way on a slipway in Irvine in Ayrshire. I was always hoping to see her rescued, but with lots of broken promises and funding falling through several times, I thought she was finally doomed. Its great she is being slowly restored to her former glory by people who care about her and go the extra mile to save not just the ship itself but her amazing history and legacy. But most importantly, gave her back her proper name. City of Adelaide. Hopefully I can get to visit her one day and finally board and see the ship as she was...
