A couple of months ago, the magnificent and historical Clipper ship, the City of Adelaide
came home . It was very exciting to see her back in the Port.
On Saturday the 17th of May there will be a very special community event to officially welcome the ship home and also to celebrate her 150th Birthday.
The event is also a fundraiser to help raise the much needed money to build the ship a permanent home in Port Adelaide. If you're not able to attend this event, then please consider making a tax-deductible
online donation .
The
City of Adelaide is the world's oldest clipper ship and only 1 of 2 that remain in the world. Nearly 900 passengers travelled to South Australia on the ship over a period of 23 years - of these pioneers, there are more than 250,000 estimated
direct descendants.
For the first time since she returned home, the Community Event will give visitors a chance to see the ship up close and also, in an Australian first, view a live feed of vision inside the ship.
The event organisers are expecting 15,000 people to attend this very special event and invite all South Australians to come along and enjoy the day.
There'll be a sailing flotilla, food, drinks, art and craft stalls, maritime/history/genealogy groups, and entertainment featuring buskers and bands - something for the whole family to enjoy.
Hope to see many of you there on
Saturday 17th May from 10am to 5pm.
