General notes

From the section 'Sailing Vessels of the Early Decades of the 19th Century'. These wooden vessels were usually buff-bowed, full bodied and had little sheer. Square-riggers had set royals, single topgallant sails, single topsails and course.

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.
