23.01.2022 Farewell Williamstown! It's been fantastic spending time with you! Thank you to everyone who visited us while we were in port. We've started our voyage home, you can keep track of our progress on MarineTraffic and we'll be sharing photos along the way. Volunteer crew Jo T.

23.01.2022 Timber burnt during the devastating fires earlier this year has been salvaged to be used for restoration work on the James Craig and other Sydney Heritage Fleet vessels. Were pleased to see this resource support Australias historic boat fleet and help preserve these iconic ships for future generations - Nick Firth, Forestry Corporation of NSW.

20.01.2022 November has been a special time for James Craig. It marks twenty years of active sailing by our historic Tall Ship, since her recommissioning on 12 November 2000, under the house flag of Sydney Heritage Fleet. While we couldn't celebrate in person, due to COVID restrictions, this event was too significant to let pass without marking the special occasion. In the pages of this publication we bring you some very special people, sharing their personal memories that reflect on th...e 20 years that has passed since the official recommissioning following her restoration from a rusting hulk in Recherche Bay, Tasmania.

07.01.2022 At this time of year, we would be planning our next voyage for the MyState Bank Australian Wooden Boat Festival.

03.01.2022 We've been a bit quiet here as we're getting used to the new normal and forgot to let you know that our Melbourne to Sydney voyage crew made it safely back to Wharf 7 Saturday 21st March (sorry!). It was a reduced crew, and everyone did a fantastic job bringing the ship home safely. Thanks to Dan's Destinations for this video of us leaving Williamstown.
