Добавлен 27 ноя 2017
From our love for all things maritime, we produce documentaries about great ships and how they shaped the world. We celebrate our deep connection with the sea and how it shapes us. Our unique cargo of compelling tales, extraordinary characters, and stunning locations is brought to life with award-winning cinematography and story-telling skills.
Tasmania is small island at the edge of the world, closer to Antarctica than northern Australia. Our rich maritime heritage draws from a deep current of Aboriginal coastal life, whalers, convicts, polar explorers, ship building, and global trade. The deepwater harbour of Hobart is a working port where ship's horns echo through the suburbs and seagulls wheel in the city streets,. Our long dark winter nights are lit by the aurora australis, our weather dominated by the Southern Ocean.

my my ancestor fought james h craig in the revolutionary battle of rockfish in north carolina god damn him and curse his name he was not a honorable man
Why the heck do you people put background music over speech? All you're saying is that the dialog isn't worth hearing. Thankfully, the closed captions work fairly well on this video.
Helped in restoration years ago… been out to on her a couple of times…
Sailed on James Craig from Sydney to Newcastle . it was Great !
Thank you, great to see, cargo under sail.
I recall in the late 80s early 90s when I was carting timber by truck out of white bay and the James Craig was there in a dilapidated state but looking at her she was still a beautiful ship
Hmm this randomly showed up on my feed. Pretty interesting, is this ship actually running now (could it even be made to run if not)? Or is it a static vessel? Either way, nifty!
Hi, I’m not sure why this randomly popped into your feed. Our TV Production company …. The Old Ships Company produced a TV Docco about this ship and the clip you saw was a promo we produced for the owners of the ship - The Medway Queen Trust. They are a group of volunteers who are restoring The Medway Queen and they hope to raise enough funds to one day have her sailing again. Warmest regards, The Old Ships Company Crew ⚓️
The current Medway Queen is a replica. The only original parts that were saved when the vessel was scrapped at Damhead Creek by GPS were 8 bollards some dereks and the main block of the engine, conrods and shafts. The new hull and decks were built at the Albion Dock, Bristol by Ables Shipyard. The funnel was built by the Boiler Makers Union Apprentices.
Hi Mark, I’m not sure what you are talking about? We are a film company base in Australia. Warmest, Old Ships Company
No
It's a copy
You sank Kevin Kelly's boat thar tried to save you please pay him the money
Many thanks to ship savers.
So where can we watch this? Looks good
Hi Rusty, thank you for your message. The series Ship Savers is not available to watch yet, we are still filming. We hope to have it on air soon.
Thank you.
WHAT a story!
Looks like the star of India.
"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by......" Thanks to all for all the hard work in restoring this legend to sail once again! God Bless!
Sadly the boat industry has been abused for such a long time.the gentrification of harbour and river and government overreach has resulted in a country that can’t even safely maintain its warships.the situation of a manly ferry travelling to Brisbane for a hull clean and a lick of paint is beyond a joke.we are an island nation that is destroying every facility used by boats.this country is so sick so fucken sick only a war will wake these losers up and we will lose because of there incompetent past actions.
Here on the West coast of the US, the old Star Line ships are some of the survivors, the Balcalutha in San Francisco and the Star of India in San Diego. If you've ever tried to cut iron with a torch, you'll know why the Iron ships last. In the 80's I was Mate/engineer aboard the old Weddell Foss, a 104' long tug built in 1907 of riveted iron, originally steam powered towing railroad barges from Prince Rupert to Stewart AK ....and repowered with a WWII 18 cyl 298 submarine engine. (Thats 298cubic Inches per cylinder) She was sold to an independent tug company, American Navigation, in 1982 and worked as a ship assist boat there....and then sold down to Mexico. Sad to see her going downhill over the years, when Foss owned her, she won (by far) the tug boat races on Puget Sound, every year. (Hint: knowing how to override the governor was key) -Veteran -66-68
I heard of James Craig as a pre-teen, she was being worked on in Sydney but she was along way from floatable. It's inspiring how far she's come. A must visit when next I get to Sydney town!
Eye candy, indeed
Bravo Australia...you may be down under but definitely not over!
Beautiful, simple beautiful. Words can't describe how a wreck turns into a real eye catcher. Well done Australia. 😎👍 . . from America 🇺🇸
Why why has the UK not followed Australia and given us a tall ship they made it look easy and it could be !!
Inspiring! What a beautiful ship she is.
there's a similar ship in Honolulu- the Falls of Clyde - in much better shape than James was, that the state keeps trying to scuttle
Gone to party’s on the Falls decades ago. Good fun!
What for was so notable was the manual trade skills being exhibited during the restoration process. With the ever increasing trend to computer controlled machining and digitisation those manual skills are being lost to our detriment.
Im pretty sure they didn't have welders and angle grinders when she was layed down tho. But i agree, every time I see someone 3D print a piece i could file out of stock in less time it takes them coding the dimensions in a CAD program makes me cringe xD
I like history and I like ships but I rate this item as seriously bad. It is a shame the person responsible for editing this is more a musac enthusiast than having a genuine care for History and ships. The Musac was at such a volumme that I had to strain to hear what the narrator was telling us. Thumbs down
How beautiful! Wonderful video. Thank you and blessings to all who worked on her . May she sail safely in to the future . BZ and Cheers!
If I can borrow an Aussie term, 'good on you'. It's so important to preserve historical artifacts so we can know where we came from and hopefully figure out how we got here.
Oops, that's 'good on ya'.
Respect…
Drove past it many tomes when it lay waiting in the derwent
Check out Sydney Heritage Fleet channel we just refloated the John Oxley with a new hull and her engines all rebuilt and now have a k class ferry on our floating dock to replace her hull the Kanangra
A fantastic job done by everyone involved .
Whow! Bunch of guys with marbles in their mouth and some jerk taking piano lessons!im impressed!
Magnificent job. I followed the progress from the early 70s. But please, she is a "square-rigger." Tall Ship is a vague, over used, poetic cliche.
Barque ,,,
old farts obsessed over old dead shit no future only old farts obsessed over old dead shit
