Come aboard the James Craig – a majestic 1874 tall ship!

Barque James Craig is rightly famous around the world.

She is Sydney’s only 19th Century square rigger (or Tall Ship) and her incredible restoration to full sailing condition was recognised in 2003 by the World Ship Trust’s award of their prestigious Maritime Medal.
