Wow, great video Phil! I was one of the bods working on it at that time doing the iron work. It's such a wonderful achievement that she is now sailing again. I have a lot of video that I gave to Sydney Heritage Fleet to copy for the restoration video the Robert Albert (our patron) commissioned. I'm intending to put together a short version myself sometime.
Im sure this ship was docked at the long wharf opposite Iron cove . in Drummoyne that was a long time ago ? it had no restoration at that time . She looks beautiful & for her 28 voyages round the cape she was worthy of and earnt the full restoration.
I sailed on her from Sydney to Newcastle in a Southerly , Canvas every where , it was Great !
My ears are still ringing from replacing those rivets!
