The Duke of Edinburgh, who has been keen on ships and sailing ever since his days as a naval officer, will give the clipper ship, City of Adelaide a royal sendoff next month in Greenwich. The Duke of Edinburgh will see off the ship after it docks next to its well-known sister ship, The Cutty Sark, on the River Thames.
The City of Adelaide, a 150 year old ship with a rich history will embark on its journey home to South Australia. The City of Adelaide is the last remaining ship that carried emigrants from across Europe to Australia in the 19th century as the new colony was just beginning to take hold.

Going home on a barge. I was wondering who was nutty enough to sail her back! :-)
The Duke circumcized the world with a 100’ clipper.
“The Duke circumcized the world with a 100’ clipper.”
I guess that’s one way of putting it.

Cutty Sark - tasty stuff.
I thought the Cutty Sark burned down?
Five years after the Cutty Sark, once the pride of the British Empire, was ravaged by fire the ship has been restored to her former glory in time for a momentous year in Britain.
The 19th century sailing ship was re-opened by Queen Elizabeth II, in 2012.
Cutty Sark, which used to streak across the oceans carrying tea and wool, has come a long way since the flames burned through all three of her decks, turning her into an inferno early one morning in May 2007.
