A base model of the schooner, 'Independence', the first vessel constructed in South Australian waters. She was built in 1803 at what is now known as American River on Kangaroo Island by the crew of the brig 'Union'. It is positioned at an intersection directing visitors to American River, where they can view a much more authentic representation of Independence at the American River Wharf. This is being built by the Rebuild Independence Group (RIG) whose website is at https://rebuildindependence.org/home
