The 'City', as she was affectionately known in her hey day, had several masters in her lifetime at sea. But hers is an unusual tale, because the captaincy of this vessel was something of a family affair, both the original master and two of his sons captained the City of Adelaide during her busiest trading years.

Further details on the Captans are available at the links below the photographs.
