Alma Doepel
The ship is based at her restoration workshop at Shed 2 on North Wharf, Docklands, where final fit-out work has begun. New rigging, engines, tanks, accommodation and a vast array of equipment is being installed. There was time out in October 2024 for Alma to relocate and be on display at the Melbourne Boat Show, as the photograph shows.
