Description
I find this about the Aboriginal owned Tall Ship Tribal Warrior from an interview: The hull was laid in Thursday Island way back in 1899, and it's a ex-pearling lugger. It was built as a mother ship to a pearling fleet, and it's a little bit different in some ways that it's a narrower beam - we're only 15 foot on the beam, we're 70 foot from the bowsprit to our mizen boom, and we draw six foot eight in the water, and we're 30 foot high and our main mast - we have a mizen mast and a main. And it was used to service a pearling fleet up in the Torres Strait and around the Top End.
