On our trek westward we stopped in the Blue Mountains to view The Three Sisters.
Barque James Craig
The Barque James Craig was the final ship to meet with our review.
The ship underwent extensive restoration from a sunken hulk to what it is today over the course of many years. It now lives in Sydney and periodically sails beyond the harbor to take passengers on high seas adventures.
Sailors must have been very small people.
The wheel and associated rudder mechanism.
Manning the bilge pump.
HMAS Vampire
The HMAS Vampire, now a museum ship, had just arrived from the paint shop in time for our tour.
A highly advanced “Betamax” player used by the Australian military to send coded messages to the troops. No one has yet to crack the codes.
