About SV JAMES CRAIG
James Craig is a three-masted, 19th-century iron-hulled barque restored and sailed by the Sydney Heritage Fleet, Sydney, Australia. She is one of only four pre-20th century barques in the world that still go regularly to sea. It was built as the Clan Macleod in 1874, and operated into the early 20th century. It was eventually left derelict in Tasmania for many decades before being restored by turn of the century, and in the 2000s operates as a Tall Ship.
