CARRADALE (1889)

A magnificent four-masted barque built by Alexander Stephen & Sons, Glasgow, and launched on 29 October 1889 for J. & A. Roxburgh.

She sailed under three flags—British, Norwegian and Finnish—before joining Gustaf Erikson’s famous fleet in 1923. Sold for breaking up soon afterwards, her sailing days ended around 1924.

A proud survivor of the golden age of sail, Carradale remains immortalised in maritime photography—a timeless reminder of the great windjammers that once ruled the oceans.

The Tall Ship Glenlee – A Living Piece of Maritime History

Launched on 3 December 1896 in Port Glasgow, Scotland, the magnificent Glenlee is a three-masted sailing ship with a remarkable history.

She sailed across the world’s oceans, circumnavigated the globe four times and braved the treacherous waters of Cape Horn on 15 occasions. Throughout her lifetime, she carried different names, including Islamount, Clarastella and Galatea, serving as both a cargo ship and a Spanish naval training vessel.

Rescued in Spain in 1992, she was brought home to the River Clyde and lovingly restored.

Today, Glenlee stands proudly beside Glasgow’s Riverside Museum, preserving the proud shipbuilding heritage of the River Clyde.

More than a ship, she is a survivor of history, adventure and time.

We are delighted to launch our brand-new website dedicated entirely to the SS John Oxley!

It is an incredibly exciting time for this historic 1927 coastal steamship. Our engineering team, led by Chief Engineer Garry Burns, is actively installing the new Weishaupt burners into the Scotch boilers. This is the final, critical step directly leading up to our first live boiler light-up (fire up) and subsequent steam trials!

Explore the new site today to follow the restoration journey and support this living piece of Australia’s maritime history.
