Polly Woodside
“The prettiest barque ever built in Belfast”, was named after the wife of her owner. She was built in 1885 in Belfast to serve the coal and nitrate trade between England and South America. With officers and crew of only 16 men in total she sailed over 14,000 nautical miles each trip carrying up to 1,200 tons of cargo around Cape Horn. After a varied career, she was restored and is now found at Melbourne’s maritime museum
