The Pirates Came to Yeppoon

Hi Guys, a couple of days ago an authentic 15 Century Portuguese Pirate ship came to the Roslyn Harbor.
It took this fellow and his partner 11 years to build and is the only authentic one in the Southern Hemisphere.
I had a good look at it when it was moored in the Mariana and was able to get a few good shots as it left today.

G'Day Leon,
If its the same ship they were in Newcastle some time in January this year , for small fee you could go on board and have look around .It was not way of sailing, very cramped and small and not my idea of sailing into a 30 foot swell
