Very nice work Rodondo. I always thought it was a shame she's trapped on the Yarra now unable to move even if they were to make her an active vessel again.

I agree its a shame, it seems the only damage she has is some stress marks in her hull from were she grounded in 1921, which I just finished her appearance on the day she grounded, so she'd be able to sail which is a bit suprising. It would be possible to get her to sea,they would need two tugs to move her under the Bolte (she'd need to remove her topgallant masts to clear that bridge) and Westgate, though they'd need to wait till they did replacement work on the Wurungri Way bridge, which is soon I think, other than than that, they'd have to take portions of the little foot bridges away. It possible but I doubt we'd see it in the immediate future
Any way, here she is in 1921

Aye it isn't an impossible task but rather unlikely. Would have been nice to see her the other month join all the other tall ships in the bay though.
Nicely done.

Thank you
Yeah, she'd look good amongst the Alma Doepal and Enterprize, especially next to the James Craig.
