THE tall ship James Craig has encountered difficulties on its journey to Hobart for next week’s Australian Wooden Boat Festival.
THE tall ship James Craig has encountered weather-related difficulties on its journey to Hobart for next week’s Australian Wooden Boat Festival.
The James Craig, which was built in England in 1874, left Sydney earlier this week bound for Hobart but has stopped near Jervis Bay on the New South Wales south coast, in an effort to shelter from bad weather and rough seas.
Festival organisers are keeping in contact with the ship’s crew. They expect to hear on Monday whether it will continue its voyage south and, if so, when it might arrive.
See tomorrow’s Sunday Tasmanian for an in-depth preview of the Australian Wooden Boat Festival.
