Peter Maddison, from Scarf, The Sunderland City of Adelaide Recovery Fund, which has fought to bring the ship back home, said he is positive this will be a turning point in the campaign. He said: “When it came into Greenwich on Thursday night it was amazing. It was an absolutely wonderful sight, she is looking beautiful. “We were there with our banner and giving out information leaflets and literally hundreds of people were asking us what it was all about. “The place was packed with national press and I really do believe that now she is centre of attention herself and no longer the Cinderella sister to the Cutty Sark, everyone will understand her huge historical value. “It would be a national disgrace if something so precious and important to our great maritime history was allowed to be exported.” LINK |
