I very much hope that all goes to plan regarding the ship's change of home and that Adelaide residents give her the care she deserves.Andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342690442454499340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-29531981343782222042011-02-27T20:44:26.702+00:002011-02-27T20:44:26.702+00:00As a resident of Adelaide and a keen amateur Adela...As a resident of Adelaide and a keen amateur Adelaide historian I have a a bit of an affinity with this story.

It's much the same story with the Mary Rose - millions went into hauling her out of the sea and preserving her relatively meagre remains at Portsmouth, whilst the poor City of Adelaide was largely forgotten.Andiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342690442454499340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6760875.post-5355172923800145812011-02-27T15:56:11.918+00:002011-02-27T15:56:11.918+00:00This story doesn't exactly make me feel proud ...This story doesn't exactly make me feel proud to be British...
