  • Tall Ships Hobart 2013 – September 20-25
    Tall Ships Hobart 2013 – September 20-25 To celebrate certain special anniversaries it is traditional, in the maritime world, to convene a gathering of great ships from all corners of the world. When the invitation comes from a national defence force it is known as a Fleet Review. Such a gathering was seen last when Australia celebrated its bi-centennial in 1988 and the Tall Ships came to Hobart. The parade of sail in the River Derwent drew thousands to the waterfront to see these beautiful ships, including the British Government’s handsome birthday gift to Australia – the 239-tonne brigantine Young Endeavour. Another great anniversary is approaching - the centenary of the Royal Australian Navy’s first entry into Sydney Harbour in October 1913. In the run-up to this very large event the fleet will visit a handful of other ports with strong maritime traditions. In September 2013, a great procession of sails will be seen in the Derwent as the Tall Ships come to Hobart once more. Tall Ships Hobart 2013 will be produced and managed by the same organisation that has successfully produced the Australian Wooden Boat Festival for the last 20 years – AWBF Inc. This is a not-for- profit entity specifically created to manage large-scale maritime events. The five-day Tall Ships program will include ship tours, special sailings, exhibitions and activities in Princes Wharf One, entertainment, a Grand Parade, fine Tasmanian food and wines, a special schools program and much more. Friday 20 September Staggered arrivals in the Derwent followed by berthing operations.

B. Whittaker 1819 Foreword There can be little doubt that when my great-grandfather began to write this book, his thoughts were centred on the objective which he describes in his own Preface—the diversion to Australia of some part of the stream of emigration then running from the British Isles to North America. Perhaps, even more urgently, he may have wanted to forestall any British tendency to withdraw from the colony and abandon New South Wales altogether. But as he wrote, he found that he had to make some explanation for the defects which he saw in the current life of the colony, and naturally he was led into propounding some way in which these defects could be overcome.
