I'm wondering whether anyone could help me research on history on the
Nellie.
According to one person, she was built in 1867.
She did the lights in Hervey Bay up to around 1940.
Before that, she appearantly hauled logs.
I'm told she had been insured at Lloyds of London.
She is currently at Innisfail, Queensland, Australia.
I'm trying to get history on her to try to sell her to a museum.

My Great Grandfather was the builder and Skipper of the Nellie. I gave
a 6 digit check to the Innsisfail shipyard for upkeep about 6 years
ago.
