One of the things that draw people to the sea is the many mysteries and legends connected to the great oceans. Strange traditions, mysterious creatures and sunken cities. This summer Grayhound will take part in maritime festivals in France and the UK, and as part of our festival program we will offer the audience a brand new exhibition about the MYSTERIES OF THE SEVEN SEAS. The exhibition opens tomorrow, March 26, onboard Grayhound in Port Rhu. It will then be open to the public in selected harbours. Next ones are Gloucester on June 3, 4 &5, followed by
Bristol on June 15, 16, 17.

Any ideas for sheds or yard space to house the Pearl Lugger Heritage Fleet in your area? Very important vessels and significant history to Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Australian South Sea Islander communities to learn about, preserve and protect Australian Maritime Heritage and History.

OK, NOW IT'S GETTING URGENT... WE CAN'T DO THIS ALONE! We need to find a home for the luggers ASAP. ANTONIA A99 has been shedded for many years and now out in the open (covered with tarps) until we find a new home. This weather is not good for vessels undergoing restoration out in the open.

Anyone with ideas, sheds, land, resources or like willing to help out the continued preservation of these vessels please get in touch ASAP. Needs to be secure, flat, able to be trucked to and from with sheds an awesome bonus. Where? Cairns, Townsville, Bowen, Airlie, Brisbane and everywhere in between.

ANTONIA A99 along with Mission Ketch STEPHEN DAVIES were built in Bulimba on the Brisbane River by Norman Wright and Sons.

We are also seeking business sponsors, partners, stakeholders and individuals keen on supporting the next phase of the Pearl Lugger Heritage Fleet. Interested parties please message directly. We will also be launching a fundraising drive to assist with the second move of these vessels to a single location and look forward to your support.
