Cutlass at the ready - the “Notorious” is in town

Boat builder Graeme Wylie took his love of pirate ships and created a legacy that is enchanting enthusiasts up and down the Australian coast. He’ll be in Cleveland this weekend.

Notorious, a ship based on a Portuguese caravel will stop at Raby Bay this weekend.

The “golden age” of pirates is long gone but our fascination with them lives on.

This weekend you can indulge your inner Captain Hook or Jack Sparrow and go on board the replica 15th century Caravel “Notorious” when it berths at Raby Bay Harbour Pontoon.

From tomorrow until Sunday the vessel, built by enthusiast Graeme Wylie, will be open for public inspection.
