25.01.2022 Humpback whales off Tasman Island what a treat for the crew #humpbackwhales are migrating south at the moment heading through Tasmanian waters feeding on tonnes of krill before reaching Antartica. Wonder if we will see them back in QLD for the winter.....

We would love any of our local Tassie followers to come and say hi! #derwenthunter #timbership #tallship #tasmania

14.01.2022 The stories and photos that have been popping up since the Derwent Hunters return to Tasmania have been fantastic! With a rich and vast history we’re sure the stories are going to keep on coming! Image from Kathy Talbot c.1950 #timbership #tallship #tasmania

13.01.2022 More sunrise/sunsets and the view from Wineglass bay hike #derwenthunter #tasmania

13.01.2022 Delivery crew snacks! How Great is the difference between the cheese boards when the boss Jo is on board

13.01.2022 Wishing everyone a very quick ending (and see ya later) to 2020 and an awesome, wind in the sails voyage for 2021... The HUNTER is still at the Yard Brisbane taking the time to get some much needed work done, a couple of planks need attention and a colour change! Keep a weather eye out and see you in the new year!

13.01.2022 With northerly conditions expected to slow our progress for a few days, we decided to check out some Port Stephens hospitality, so far the locals have been very welcoming

12.01.2022 What a welcome to Hobart. Thank you JuliePorter CharlesBurns for a fabulous afternoon sail on your beautiful Tallship SV Rhona H. If anyone is in Hobart and wants to experience some real sailing with wooden boat enthusiasts, then look no further. You guys rock #woodenboats #hobart

12.01.2022 Have you ever thought of building your own wooden boat? An excursion down the Franklin brought us to the Wooden Boat Centre Tasmania where you can sign up to a course and start building We couldn’t resist a couple of pairs of handmade chopsticks from the visitor centre, now at home on Derwent Hunter Day Tours It’s also next to Franklin Marine pop in and see Ian for marine supplies and endless local knowledge and ever so cute greyhounds

12.01.2022 Check out the new and old Australian Marine Research vessels of the CSIRO Derwent Hunter (1952-1962) with RV Investigator (2014-current) Powered under Norwegian Steam (man -hauled booms and gaffs) the Derwent is a stark contrast to the technically impressive RV Investigator (but perhaps rather more economical to run ) https://research.csiro.au/acc/capabilities/rv-investigator/

11.01.2022 Sunrise off St Helens, Tasmania one of the perks of being on the early watch

11.01.2022 We’re pretty sure cpt Josh really loves dolphins these beauties were captured just off the QLD Coast last month

09.01.2022 For all the sailors out there

08.01.2022 More photos coming out of the wood work, here she is in Kettering May 1998. After the 1998 Sydney to Hobart Tallship race, we spent several months in Kettering refitting the ship with an additional 4 private cabins. Photo @Will Bailieu just before we set sail back to Airlie Beach

06.01.2022 Since Derwent Hunter has arrived in Tasmania the stories and photos that have come our way are amazing! We'll definitely be putting these into something for everyone to see - we can't keep these things to ourselves now Until that happens you can always read up about her history on our websites. Here's a little snippet for you from her CSIRO days #tallship #maritimehistory #CSIRO #DerwentHunter
