Summary

[edit]



Description
English: The iron-hulled sailing ship JOSEPH CONRAD was originally launched as GEORGE STAGE in Copenhagen in 1882 as a training ship for young sailors. In 1934 GEORGE STAGE was about to be broken up when Australian author and sailor Andrew Villiers bought the vessel, renaming it after his favourite author. Villiers sailed JOSEPH CONRAD around the world with a crew of mostly young sailors, visiting Australian shores in late 1935. The vessel is now a part of the collection at the Mystic Seaport museum in Connecticut.
