Description


Interior of the hull of Edwin Fox

Edwin Fox is unique in that she is the "only intact hull of a wooden deepwater sailing ship built to British specifications surviving in the world outside the Falkland Islands." She is the world's second oldest surviving merchant sailing ship [3] and is also the only surviving ship that transported convicts to Australia. Edwin Fox carried settlers to both Australia and New Zealand and carried troops in the Crimean War. The ship is dry-docked at The Edwin Fox Maritime Centre at Picton in New Zealand.
