Historical information

The figurehead of the sailing vessel 'General Blanco' was mounted on the Exchange Hotel by the 1860s (see 'SA Register' 16 August 1865). The General Blanco was severely damaged in a gale in September 1856 and was subsequently hulked. The figurehead was then moved to the South Australian Maritime Museum.
