Donor Name	Country/State	Location	Comment	Donation	Curr

Donald Watson	Western Australia	Gnangara, Perth	I moved over from Scotland last year. I have visited the "City of Adelaide" quite a few times, and have been aboard her. As you know, the original plan was to restore her at the Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine, but when lack of finance scuppered this plan I was very disappointed. I am delighted she is now going to be saved.	50.00	AUD
Mark Pascoe	South Australia	Adelaide	As an ex. R.A.N. engineer, the sheer beauty of this ship[and she still is a ship!] has attracted me to this worthy cause.She needs to be saved for us and future generations. Sometimes we just have to bear the cost and put the effort into saving something of such great historical value, particularly to S.A. We may not know where we are going, but it sure would be nice for future generations to knowa little about where we have been! This ship is one example.	100.00	AUD

All good luck to Adelaide.	100.00	GBP
Jacqui Carr	Australia	Melbourne	I grew up in Irvine and worked around the corner from the Carrick. I was always a little sad to see it tilted in the muddy grubby harbour. I am really please that you have been working so hard to save this ship. It was obviously unappreciated in Irvine - as many things are. It is alone, though, I have heard of plenty Scottish hertiage items being brought over to Australia because the funding is not available to restore them.

Jamie Varacalli	South Australia		As a BA graduate (English Lit / History) and currently an English (Lit) honours candidate at The University of Adelaide specialising in travel narratives (currently Victorian/Edwardian Orientalism), I have been following this story with great interest in the media. I would like to hope that government funding is forthcoming. The City of Adelaide has the potential to become a massive tourist attraction (locally and internationally) in the tradition of the Cutty Sark. The romance and adventure of ocean travel will always be of personal and academic interest, even when our grandchildren are flying to the moon. This is a most worthy project.

David Addison	Australia	Basket Range, South Australia	My son, Jon, was Curator at the Scottish Maritime Museum from 2004 to 2007. We saw the ship in 2005 and the aim then was to destroy it. Jon can be contacted at the Queen Victoria Museum in Launceston, Tasmania where he is Curator of History. I was the Project Manager for the One and All. So although now retired, I would love to see the clipper back in Port Adelaide. Unfortunately, it's a matter of money, big money.	20.00	AUD

Peter Fawcett	Tasmania			100.00	AUD
Michael Clayton	United Kingdom	Scotland	The 'City of Adelaide' is not only a significant part of the history and foundation of South Australia but should be a permanent link between Australia and Britain.

Hugh Howell	Australia	Captains Flat, NSW	We must preserve this heritage. I still remember my visit to the Cutty Sark as a small boy in the 1950's and how it inspired me. Imagine a child of tomorrow remembering their visit to the "City of Adelaide" and being similarly inspired.	100.00	AUD

Ben Adamson	Victoria			10.00	AUD
Ian Bremner-Macdonald	Australia	Wagga Wagga, New South Wales	There is so little of our heritage which survives. We cannot allow this link to disappear. Commercial development has been responsible for so much destruction in the name of "progress" when progress should be measured by the understanding of who we are and from where we have come. As one who is proud of his heritage and from a pioneer family of South Australia, I am saddened that there could be any doubt about the preservation of this piece of our history. I hope that the "City of Adelaide" and all who have sailed in her will be remembered well into the future. She must survive.	30.00	AUD

Ross Monk	Australian Capital Territory			100.00	AUD
Ricky McKenzie	New South Wales		Without a ship like this it is like not knowing how people were able to land on the moon. Future generations need to see in a historical context the rewards technology, hardship and effort give. Good luck city of Adelaide Trust.	10.00	AUD
