Garlandstone, Historic sailing ketch in South Australia
The Garlandstone measures 76 feet in length, 20 feet in width, and features eight sails distributed across its mizzen, main mast, and bowsprit.
Built in 1909 by James Goss in Calstock, Cornwall, the Garlandstone transported cargo between Great Britain and Ireland through the Celtic Sea.
The vessel represents the final wooden merchant sailing ships constructed in southern England, using timber from the Cotehele estate.
The ketch underwent modifications in 1912, replacing its after cabin with a twin-cylinder paraffin engine to enhance its cargo transportation capabilities.
During World War II, Captain Murdoch navigated the Garlandstone solo through a minefield after his crew declined to make the journey.
