What was so special about the James Craig that aroused the interest of both the San Francisco Museum and the Sydney Maritime Museum in a rusting hulk abandoned for 42 years? Why were more than 300 people and over 140 corporations prepared to spend 22 years and millions of dollars in time, equipment and donations to bring her back to life? All hands on deck: The restoration of the James Craig tells the story of the restoration of one of the great Clipper ships of a long gone era, the only sailing ship of its kind left in Australia and New Zealand waters and one of only a few in the world restored to sailing condition. The story of the salvage and restoration is told through the words of the people involved: of overwhelming and impossible tasks, the relearning of forgotten skills, and the perseverance, dedication and generosity of volunteer workers, skilled craftspeople and donors whose efforts turned a vision into reality. 164 pages HB
