The James Craig

by tiabunna
The James Craig is a three masted steel hulled barque built in 1875. I remember seeing her, long ago, as a rusting hulk on a beach in Tasmania. Finally she was refloated, towed to Sydney, and restored by volunteers. She now is at the Sydney Maritime Museum and does regular trips out to sea. Much more info on her here.

This three mast yacht looks really great.
Years ago I sailed with the Khersones on a tall ship regatta from Sweden to Travemünde. That was a great experience in my favorite sport 'Sailing'.
