Saving the 'City of Adelaide' is most important to me because she ...

	is one of only two surviving sailing ships to carry emigrants from the British Isles to any destination in the world.
	is the only surviving sailing ship that gave regular service between Europe and Australia.
	is the only survivor of the timber trade from North America to UK.
	is one of only two surviving composite clipper ships in the world.
	is the world’s oldest clipper ship.
	represents a whole foundation era of Australian economic and social history.
	all of the above!
