The Sydney Traveler

We’ve all seen the majestic tall ships sailing around Sydney Harbour, but did you know you can do more than just looking at them? Sydney Heritage Fleet regularly runs sailing days which allow members to really experience what these amazing vessels are all about.

You can take part in all the fun of sailing, or sit back and relax as the world goes by.

Choose from the James Craig, an authentic 19th century barque restored to its former glory by the Sydney Maritime Museum, the 1902 steam launch Lady Hopetoun, and the 1902 schooner Boomerang. 

Membership to the Sydney Heritage Fleet is required to take part in the sailing experiences, but it’s worth it to be able to travel in these historic ships.
