Inbound

Orcargo's 'Contender' is alongside the North Pier, rather unusually for her, while several smaller vessels fill the frame.

The Excelsior (built 1897) lies in Mutton Cove surrounded by power lines, snake filled swamps and conveniently up the road from Australia's newest shipyard! The story of how she came to be here can be seen here: http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/heritage/ships_graveyards/locating.html#known_vessels
