National recognition for historic vessels
Posted on 15/07/2008
A trio of heritage wooden yachts still sailing in Goolwa has been recognised among Australia’s most significant historic vessels.
Roona, a small sloop built in 1903, and two 21 foot restricted class racing yachts, Dolphin, built 1933, and Milsonia, built 1929, were added to the Australian Register of Historic Vessels (ARHV).
The register was launched last year by the Australian National Maritime Museum and the Sydney Heritage Fleet to document significant Australian boats and ships built prior to 1965.
