Oldest Clipper ship in the world - City-of-Adelaide-photographed-in-1883.jpg (0/1)
 

Preparations are being made to take the oldest surviving clipper ship
in the world, the City of Adelaide, to Australia, following a decision
by the Scottish Government.

The Australian's interest in the City of Adelaide is her historically
important role in carrying emigrants to a new life in the country in a
series of 29 regular voyages.
