Historic clipper City of Adelaide finds temporary home at Port Adelaide The City of Adelaide as it leaves Irvine harbour, in Scotland. PIcture: Kenneth Gordon Source: Supplied THE historic City of Adelaide clipper ship will be on display at Port Adelaide's Dock One from the end of next month. Premier Jay Weatherill today announced the State Government would provide the temporary home for the ship while it worked with the City of Adelaide Preservation Trust to develop a joint-business case for a more permanent location. "Docking the ship in the inner harbour will allow the public to view the ship after it makes its journey to South Australia," Mr Weatherill said. The clipper ship, which brought thousands of settlers to South Australia between 1864 and 1886, was loaded onto a cargoship in the Netherlands last month and is expected to arrive in Adelaide by about January 20. It had been in the Netherlands for fumigation and is sailing via the US and Port Hedland, WA. City of Adelaide Preservation Trust director Peter Christopher said it could take about a year to find a permanent home for the ship.
