Taken @ Williamstown Pier
It was such a nice winter day yesterday ,I had lunch in a park took a few flower shots I liked this one. /
The Sydney Heritage Fleet brought the 3 masted, steel hulled James Craig to dock at historical Williamstown. Built in 1874, it carried cargo around the world, until it was abandoned in favor of the steam revolution and sunk in 1932. Restored in 1972.
Hadn’t been here for around 10 years when I took this photo yesterday, the ship hasn’t moved an inch since i was here last. People can board the Castlemaine on weekends for a small price or during the week by appointment. HMAS Castlemaine (J244/M244/A248), named for the city of Castlemaine in Victoria, Australia, is a Bathurst class corvette of the Royal Australian Navy. Laid down by the Melbourne Harbour Trust at Williamstown in Victoria on 17 February 1941, launched on 7 August 1941 by the then Mrs. R. G. Menzies (wife of Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies) and commissioned at Melbourne on 17 June 1942. Castlemaine paid off to reserve on 14 December 1945 and was immobilised at HMAS Cerberus at Crib Point in Victoria as a training hulk for Engine Room Artificers, who ran the boilers in part providing steam heating throughout the base. In September 1973 the Minister for Defence announced that the Australian Government had made a gift of HMAS Castlemaine to the Maritime Trust of Australia to become a maritime museum. Castlemaine is presently berthed at Gem Pier, Williamstown, Victoria, adjacent to the historic Customs House. Colour selection was done in Lightroom and HDR in Photomatix

This is the Bowsprit of the James Craig. / The bowsprit, or boltsprit, of a sailing vessel is a pole extending forward from the vessel’s prow. It provides an anchor point for the forestay’s, allowing the fore-mast to be stepped further forward on the hull. / If you are ever on a Sailing Ship or Tall Ship of any description, this is the best spot for a good image. ============ Click here! if you want to see more and be able to read about the history of the James Craig.
