What they say: Our maritime history lives on, and its your to share.
What I say: After the disappointment of the Maritime Museum the James Craig was a breath of fresh air. Our guide took us around the boat, explaining all about its history, how it was saved and rebuilt and all the workings of it. It was very interesting and he managed to answer nearly all of my dumb questions.
It's run and maintained by a team of volunteers but is a working vessel and regularly puts out to sea. You can join her on a cruise, if you have the time and money - all the way to Hobart if your really flush.
Inside has been stripped out for parties etc, it used to carry coal and grain, but the officers quarters are still there, including the captains bath tub - I liked that!
