Photo's description:

The iron-hulled sailing ship JOSEPH CONRAD was originally launched as GEORGE STAGE in Copenhagen in 1882 as a training ship for young sailors. In 1934 GEORGE STAGE was about to be broken up when Australian author and sailor Andrew Villiers bought the vessel, renaming it after his favourite author. Villiers sailed JOSEPH CONRAD around the world with a crew of mostly young sailors, visiting Australian shores in late 1935. The vessel is now a part of the collection at the Mystic Seaport museum in Connecticut. Flickr user Beachcomberaustralia provided this useful link to a SMH article mentioning the visit: bit.ly/RYnW38 The National Film and Sound Archive hold footage of this visit, including the sailors singing the song 'Rolling Home' accompanied by an accordian: conrad;querytype=;rec=5;resCount=10 NFSA entry This photo is part of the Australian National Maritime Museum’s William Hall collection.
