Port Adelaide
Port Adelaide from G. French Angas' water colour. In the foreground is a party of passengers alighting from a ship's dinghy. On the right is the 'Ville de Bordeaux', a three masted wooden ship of 822 tons, built in 1836 in Bordeaux, France. She had a short career as a French whaler and then as a merchant vessel in Australia. She was seized by Port Adelaide Harbour Master, Robert Torrens, in 1842, in a controversial action, and never again left Port Adelaide. She was used as a light ship until 1852, when she was used as a coal hulk. In 1865 the hull was broken up but the figurehead, a man wielding a harpoon, can be viewed at the South Australian Maritime Museum. On the opposite shore are the iron stores which originally stood at the old Port.
