1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Over the weekend down at Port Adelaide there was just

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: a model ship being moved and only weighed about six

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: hundred tons and moved out of the water where it's

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: been sitting on a barge on to dry land where

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be forever in a day. W I'm

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: talking about the City of Adelaide Clipper, this ship that

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,079
Speaker 1: made thirty odd forty runs thirty eight I reckon it was.

8
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: We'll get the exact number back in the day, in

9
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: the eighteen seventies, eighties, nineties through to South Australia, in fact,

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: twenty three return voyages. I've overstated it. But the man

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: responsible for bringing it to Adelaide and now creating a

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: maritime village down at the port for it, as Peter

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: Christopher who joins me now, Peter, good morning.

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: Good morning, massive.

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: So quite a big day down at the port yesterday.

16
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: It must have been a challenging move.

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 2: It took about well over two years in the planning,

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: a lot of refewe free, detailed engineer and logistics to

19
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: plan and organize. And because of all the good hard

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: planning that took place, that went without a hitch, we

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: now have the ship on land. We look back and say, well, okay,

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: what's the next phase.

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: Well what is phase? Tell us about that? What's planned now?

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,559
Speaker 2: Well, having got it under land, we can do things

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: that we couldn't do while it was on the barge.

26
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: We can access it with cranes, for example, which means

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: we can look at heavy external work like the fitting

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: of masts, like the fitting of a bowspread, So the

29
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: ship will start to looking more like a ship that

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: we've got it. We were also very hopeful, subject to

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: trying to raise the money to get it, is to

32
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: put a disabled lift in outside the ship so people

33
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: can get access in there. So the other sort of

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: things we can do on land on the ship and

35
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: around the ship. But we also plan to build a

36
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: maritime historic seaport village on DOC two around the ship,

37
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 2: so it won't just be the ship of people visiting

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: there will also be it'll build up progressively. You know,

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: we'll start off with a sail maker, a rope maker,

40
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: you know, those type of maritime things, no doubt, a

41
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: coffee shop, and then it'll expand and expand we'll start

42
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: off using chipping containers because they you know, they secure

43
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: at night and they're relatively cheap. And that'll get us hunderway,

44
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: and then it'll just continue to improve bit by bit

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: as we go from there.

46
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: When's the completion data And I suppose work like this

47
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: never ends and once it's up and running, as you know,

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: a precinct, there's always going to be something extra to

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: do here or there. But you know, in terms of

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: visualizing the project, are we talking five years, ten years?

51
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: What do you think?

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 2: Look? I think, for example, there were three masts on

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: the ship, and they actually have three sections, so the

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: title of nine sections. We're hopeful of getting the first

55
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 2: section of the Mizzen masts, the smallest of the three,

56
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: perhaps in place even by the end of this year

57
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: early next year, So you know, we're looking at trying

58
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: to get things started quickly. I think over the next

59
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: five years you'll see a remarkable progress. You will certainly

60
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: see external features happening on the ship itself within the

61
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 2: next couple of years, hopefully masks you know, pretty will

62
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: fully in place over that space of time. The village itself,

63
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: I think we can expand fairly quickly, Like there's no

64
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: reason why even within the next year we can't get

65
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: several hands on type features set up in containers nearby,

66
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: and then we'll progressively improve that. So it's not it'll

67
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: be a long term project that will go on continuing

68
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: being improved forever, but certainly over the next two to

69
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 2: five years there will be very very visible progress. But

70
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 2: even in the short term, like we're hoping you have

71
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: the ship open for tours inside a week. You know,

72
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: we're you know, we're down here today, we're looking at

73
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: getting stairs in tomorrow, reconnecting electricity tomorrow, putting our displays

74
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: back up that we had to take down for the move,

75
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: or in the next two or three days. So we're

76
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: very conscious about not spending six months doing this. You know,

77
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 2: by next week people will be able to take tours again.

78
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, fantastic. Now it's an amazing thing really when you

79
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: think about this ship that was rotting away in Scotland

80
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: and by now probably would have been demolished had it

81
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: not been rescued, And here it is on a dock

82
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: in Port Adelaide, halfway across the world, and it's there

83
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: and you're in the process of bringing it back to

84
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: its glory. The only thing closer so this is the

85
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: cutting Sark, isn't it, which is over in the UK

86
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: or the Cuddy Sark Adelaide.

87
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: No, No, it's in Greenwich in London though the only

88
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: to remain encomposite clippery ships in the world, and city

89
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: of Adelaide is five years older than the Cutting Sark. Now,

90
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 2: the Cutting Sark gets millions of visitors a year. Okay,

91
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: that's London. But frankly, there's no reason we can't compete

92
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: all bit on our own scale because what we have

93
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: is we have a ship which is about eighty five

94
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 2: percent original fabric the Cutty Sark, A lot of it

95
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: is now replica after the fire ten to fifteen years ago.

96
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: Now it's a very good display and I encourage people

97
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 2: to go and see it, but we actually offer something

98
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 2: which is far more original. And when you go inside,

99
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: the people who are touring it are walking on the

100
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: same decks and touching the same hole the people touched

101
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty years ago. It really is history.

102
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: That's amazing, isn't it? And here it is. Can you

103
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: believe it? You've got it to where it's going to

104
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: stay now forever? In a day?

105
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, I mean you're here on a day. Arrived

106
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: in Adelaide. I don't remember being done on the Wolf

107
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: out Harbor, and I mean it's just amazing to think

108
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: that five years ago we started this project. Ten years

109
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: ago we got the ship here. We've just moved in

110
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,679
Speaker 2: something which is the size of a small city block

111
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: over land in an exercise that people thought was impossible,

112
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: and the whole lot we're still one hundred percent volunteer organization.

113
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: We have no paid staff. We get tremendous support from

114
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 2: business and the community and others around, which is essential,

115
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: but at its core we're still one hundred percent volunteer organization.

116
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 2: And you know, I think it's quite remarkable, and you

117
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: see what's been achieved by a dedicated group who didn't

118
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: want to let this peace history be destroyed.

119
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, well, well done to you and the team

120
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: down there, Peter. And I'm sure people look forward to

121
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: visiting it once again when you were reopen in a

122
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: few days time and seeing the village develop around it.

123
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: That's going to be pretty spectacular, I reckon, And what

124
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: a great attraction to the port and a perfect place

125
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: obviously for a maritime exhibit such as this. It's going

126
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: to be wonderful.

127
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: Thank you. And this photo is up on our website.

128
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: City Offadelaide dot org dot are you showing details of

129
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:29,679
Speaker 2: the move and other things?

130
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: Not to be confused with the council.

131
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: Correct, you believe a number of emails we get for

132
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: each other.

133
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be surprised.

134
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: That that comm Are you where all go? You right? Okay?

135
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 2: Very good?

136
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: Good on your pa. Thank you all the best, Peter,

137
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: Peter see Peter Christopher who is from the City of Adelaide.

138
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: Clipper ship not the council. Six hundred tons moved from

139
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: the river base yesterday on a floating barge up to

140
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: a land based site nearby DOC two, which is near

141
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:06,119
Speaker 1: the Tom Diver Derk Bridge at the port. The latest bridge,

142
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: the newer one of the three that are down that

143
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: way over the river. And you can go and see

144
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: it from later on in the week when it reopens.

145
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen it yet, it is worth a visit.

146
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: It's just amazing and as he says, living history completely

147
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: where you think, well, this brought so many people to Adelaide,

148
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: to South Australia and Australia. In fact, a quarter of

149
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: a million people today can trace their ancestry to the

150
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: City of Adelaide which brought people over on those twenty

151
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: three return trips in the eighteen sixties, seventies and eighties,

152
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: and it became a hospital ship. During war World War One.

153
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: It was used as people injured soldiers being on board

154
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 1: and cared for. There's display for that on board. It's

155
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: worth seeing if you haven't been so much history
