The almost 30 year restoration of the James Craig is a wonderful story of volunteers rescuing an old windjammer, rusting away on a Tasmanian beach.  The three masted iron barque, James Craig, originally named Clan Macleod, was built by Bartram, Haswell & Co. in Sunderland, England in 1874.  She had a long and generally productive carrier until she was abandoned in 1933.  In 1972 volunteers from the Sydney Heritage Fleet re-floated her and began the restoration which would be finally completed in 2001.  Here is a trailer for a documentary about the restoration of this beautiful ship.  The James Craig now sails from Sydney harbor as part of the Sydney Heritage Fleet.
