The world’s oldest clipper ship, City of Adelaide, may be one step closer to having a permanent home.

Last March we posted about how the clipper ship City of Adelaide was being kicked off Dock 1 in its namesake port city and was expected to be moved to Dock 2. Unfortunately, Dock 2 was described as a largely inaccessible, industrial wasteland. Promised improvements had not been made in preparation for moving the historic ship.

On Friday, on its Facebook page, it was announced that an agreement has been signed to make Dock 2 a permanent home with suitable infrastructure and access. 

The clipper ship City of Adelaide was built in Sunderland, England, and launched on May 7, 1864.
