General notes

From the section 'Vessels of the Mid 19th Century'. In the mid 19th century, hulls increased in size and were given finer lines. In the late 1860's double topsails were gradually adopted.

This image is from the A.D. Edwardes Collection of about 8,000 photographs, mostly of sailing ships from around the world, taken between about 1865 and 1920. Mounted in 91 albums, the photographs are arranged by country of ownership, with some special volumes such as 'Shipping at Port Adelaide' and 'South Australian outports'. Additional information, giving the history of the ships where known, has been provided by maritime historian, Ron Parsons.
