Archival Photographs
At the back of one of these photographs was the following inscription by Harry Keighley:

'Built at Prince of Wales Bay by Mr Keighley.
Gaff rigged which was later changed in Sydney NSW to more modern rigg.
With old rig was an excellent sea boat.
Nearly lost her near Port Davey SE Coast in hard southerly buster, was weather bound there for two weeks.
In a light wind with all sails set was a good looking boat and caried a good head of canvas, they told me that she was not so fast after they changed her in Sydney.'
