This is a replica of the kind of ship that traveled all over the world in the early 1800s. Afterwards came the steamships. This one was in Hobart Harbour at Constitution Dock, where they end the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Many of the buildings are historic, sandstone mansions and little cottages with climbing roses. It's a very pretty city, although it is chilly.
The whales and seals were numerous and hunted in Hobart Harbour and were a great source of income in the 1800s. There used to be big whaling stations and I saw films of men in large row boats being dragged by whales as they hunted them.
This is in the Museum. I also saw film of the tiger moving in the Beaumoris Zoo when it was alive, skins, skeletons and photos of when they were hunted.
Near the south east of Tasmania there are many oyster leases. I tried many samples. Yum!
These are like cages where salmon are kept and fed up by a company who then process them to sell to supermarkets.
