Falie Donations

Falie, South Australia's only remaining original Cargo Ketch born in 1919 played an important role for the inter-coastal trade for South Australia. She also acted as a War Ship, protecting the waters from Sydney to North of Australia in World War II.

After the Falie's usefulness was exhausted and the Ketch was no longer needed to transport goods, she was left to deteriorate. Until, two Port Adelaide locals, Keith Ridgeway and Errol Forde began to clean up and restore the Ketch to prevent the loss of this important Historical Asset. The volunteer base and community support has grown over the years, with Falie well on the way to restoration, with big plans for her future.


However, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

A donation of any size is greatly appreciated and will contribute to helping keep Falie on the way to a bigger and brighter future. Our current project involves the refurbishment below deck working towards accomodation aboard. 

Be a part of keeping South Australia's Maritime heritage, and our goal to celebrate FALIE'S 100th
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION IN 2019! 

We thank you for your support!
