"Notorious" leaving Batemans Bay

"Notorious" leaving Batemans Bay
It was great to see and inspect the replica Portuguese caravel Notorious while it was visiting Batemans Bay, but it was overwhelming to actually see it putting to sea. I was unable to put aside the thought that, in all probability, it would have been nearly 500 years since such a ship had travelled our coast!

The second and third photos (in notes) show the ship passing offshore islands.

This is just staggering!!! I simply HAD to know more, and I found this page, which you might like to add to your description if people are interested in knowing more too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notorious_(ship)

An amazing story...reclaimed timber, 10 years in the making, what a dream!!!

And I found this news story too! Fabulous to learn more!

I'm flattered to have stirred your interest so effectively, Janet. :) Thank you for your comments and for following through with the extra research. I should also add that, if anyone wishes to do more reading about the probable Portuguese exploration of Australia, I would recommend the book "Beyond Capricorn" by Peter Trickett: even though the "official historians" downplay his work.

Great photo, thanks. It is hard to imagine that the early mariners made such a momentous voyage in a vessel so fragile looking.

Thank you, yes tiny timber ships but very tough sailors in those days.
