A more secure future for the City of Adelaide PDF Print Email
The Scottish Culture Minister Fiona Hyslop has announced that the City of Adelaide is to be given to the South Australian group The Clipper Ship, City of Adelaide who propose to preserve her in Adelaide, see the Historic Scotland website  for the full story.  This is excellent news and hopefully the ship's future will now be secured in the location where her history has, perhaps, the greatest relevance. Sensibly the Australians do not propose restoring the City of Adelaide to her original appearance when sailing but instead intend to preserve her, probably under cover. We very much look forward to seeing how their plans develop over the coming months.
