STS Leeuwin II (Sail Training Ship) returning to its home port of Fremantle, Western Australia, on August 18, 2023.
Some 30 plus years ago I was privileged to spend some blocks of time voyaging on two different square-rigged ships, one off the east coast of Australia, and the other off the west coast – the latter of which was this aboard this particular ship – STS Leeuwin II.
