The historic ketch Falie at the American River, Kangaroo Island during the 70s. This was before she was remodelled. The SA coastal ketch fleet moved all manner of freight - gypsum, vehicles, wool, livestock, feed, general freight, etc. and brought goods to Kangaroo Island from Port Adelaide.
Various members of my family worked on the ketches or in fishing industry.
American River is a beautiful harbour and this morning scene depicts a misty blue hue across the water.
