A tall ship and a star to sail her by…
Hills resident Ian Watkins is a proud deckhand, committee member and sometime pirate on the square-rigged two-masted schooner Enterprize, a newly-built replica of the ship that brought the first settlers to Melbourne in 1835.
The Enterprize can often be seen plying the waters of Port Phillip Bay and the south-east coast of Australia.
From keel laying to launch took six years of dedication by craftsmen assisted by teams of volunteers.
Ian will share his love affair with the Enterprize: its important heritage and meticulous construction in an evening of tall stories and stunning photography.
