Fantastic to see work beginning on this great ship! I used to dread her being broken up due to the lack of interest by government, while here in the UK. So pleased Australia is now giving her the retirement she deserves,i watch with interest! Thank you.

@johnmackenzie693 Год назад

I remember this as the Carrick, and when I was a child she was moored alongside in Glasgow, and was used as a club for members of the RNVR (I think). Didn't see her for many years then found her on the hard at Irvine in Ayrshire, looking very sad, and crumbly. I am so glad that she has gone home and is gradually being restored.

@MrStoney61 Год назад

Oh, just wonderful! I'm so happy to see progress being made on this ship.

Us too!

It does my heart good to see the work being done to restore this magnifecent vessel, thanks to everyone who has helped and will help , in the future. One day I may see her face to face, hopefully.

@pbrunottephoto1646 Год назад

Well said!

@southerneruk Год назад

I wonder if they will refloat her and sail in her in the tall ships races

@andyhillhouse9813 Год назад

I used to see this ship almost daily when it was laid up on a dry Dock in Irvine. I believe the Scottish maritime museum bought it with the intention of restoring it but the project was too big and they couldn't secure funding. I even got to go on board once as a kid in the late 90s/ early 00s.

So soon, Cutty Sark will have an Antipodean Cousin! Good on you, Diggers!

@johncook3817 Год назад

You have a big job restoring her. Almost to late! These things need to be saved. It would be a duller world without beautiful things like this in it. She will be a real sight when she is finished!

@Anne6621 Год назад

just think of all amazing trees that ended up sunk or scrapped , breaks my heart to see a wood boat neglected be it a simple 8 foot pram or a massive wood yacht

I think the only reason the old girl stayed together was the steel frame.Awsome work of a.nearly forgotten .craft🧐

@kerrygrittner5733 Год назад

Iron

@kerrygrittner5733 Год назад

The Cutty Sark's iron frame was a total loss after a fire during restoration She now has a custom built steel frame reinforced with kevlar. But she is in permanent drydock..

@rosshilton Год назад

Thank Goodness she was saved. She is the oldest Clipper left in the world (there are only two clippers left, the other being the Cutty Sark), and from memory she is the last iron and timber composite hulled sea going ship left in the world. She is an important piece of history.

@Jim.Thunda Год назад

My father sailed on the Cutty Sark, Archibald Russell, Kirkcudbrightshire and many other fully rigged ships. I had my share at sea singles handed my 50' ketch for five years from Hobart to Cairns each year. Good to see the last old girl brought back to life.

@aj-2savage896 Год назад

From memory, Cutty Sark is a composite-hull ship.

@indy-biker-stevie Год назад

So sad to see the Carrick (City of Adelaide) in this shape, I used to see it reguarly in Glasgow when I was a kid & i even had a birthday meal on board in the early 1980's, I hope to see it restored to its former glory one day.

This ship was a Hospital ship in Southampton at Millbrook Bay, Millbrook point that is a container port now. She was under a different name then, she housed tropical diseases and infections, this was all moved ashore and the ship was got rid off, there is a picture of her on her moorings when she was in Southampton

@MrDelbert1210 Год назад

I wrote a book on this wonderful ship. Its called the "Curse of the Kontomble." Kindle edition available. Thanks

@davidmilledge221 Год назад

It's great their restoring her she will look beautiful 😍 after only 2 off her kind left the world the originals, but it depressing me that the state government and the lazy port Adelaide city council have neglected the FAILY and left her to rot , she only needed 2million dollars to fix her hull thicken it up , she was always booked out on trips but the council asleep at the wheel again and this was years ago so what's their excuse now the lazy barstads

@alex-hv1bs Год назад

This ship was on dry land at Irvine in Ayrshire , i knew some of the maritime museum staff as my self and my wife got a look around inside the ship , It was called ''The Carrick'' then and was used as a restaurant in the Broomielaw Glasgow before it sunk at its moorings , it lay there for a lot of years before being raised I think it sunk in 1978, but not sure, The ships bell was in the Irvine Maritime Museum I hope it went with the ship

@ronniel5941 Год назад

She was the headquarters of the RNVR Club for many years. Dancing at wedding receptions on her sloping decks was not easy !

@alex-hv1bs Год назад

@@ronniel5941 Yes i remember that, Although i was never on the ship when it was in Glasgow, But i passed it on many occasions

@andyhillhouse9813 Год назад

My uncle was a marine surveyor in Glasgow during the time she was a floating restaurant. Apparently, she had 2 large pumps below deck running 24 hours a day, constantly bailing out water to keep her afloat. I'd assume one of them failed, resulting in her sinking. Although it was never confirmed.

@2011Matz Год назад

I have been following the fortunes of this ship since the 1960s, and I am glad she is in South Australia. It is too bad they did not get her before she was allowed to sink at her moorings. However, I think to call her a "clipper" may be a bit of an exaggeration. Her lines are pretty full.

Yes, but his signature bushy disheveled head of hair would be silver by the time he would finish.

@steinskotmyr2194 Год назад

The few pictures in the beginning this ship is rigged as a bark,not as a full rigged ship as the clippers were. As a bark I doubt very much that she had lee sails on the fore and main mast. So calling her a clipper is an exaggeration. BUT having said that quite a few full rigged ships, both 3 and 4 masters, were re-rigged as barks in their later years. The gaff rig on the mizzen is much cheaper and usually2 to 3 men could be shortened from the crew list. It could of course very well be that this ship is built as a full rigged clipper ship and can be justified with that designation

@christopherpardell4418 Год назад

Says on the website that its the oldest clipper ship in the world. Its not. The Star Of India in San Diego was built in 1861, and is still seaworthy. Of course, she was built entirely of iron. As opposed to Adelaide, that had iron framing only.

@pbrunottephoto1646 Год назад

Volunteers always working on the ship.. Takes a lot of money to get it back to beautiful.

@alexandermenzies9954 Год назад

The Tilley lamp (Model X246) using pressurised kerosene was made after 1950. Way out of place here.

@pbrunottephoto1646 Год назад

In 1948, she was decommissioned and donated to the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Club, and towed into central Glasgow for use as the club's headquarters and remained on the River Clyde until 1989 .. Maybe that is when the lamp came into use. ?

Should be kept in water as the way things are going it will be used as a wool clipper.
