Captain Robert Morgan was appointed Master of the Duke of York, owned by the South Australia Company,
The vessel was to take company personnel and settlers to Kangaroo Island, and then go whaling in the Pacific.
Morgan joined the departing Duke of York at Gravesend on 25 February 1836. She brought the first settlers
to Kangaroo Island,
The model as you can see is carved from a Jelutong, a wood that is easy to carve and shape, these are the
two blocks that I carved her from,
The inside view of the two blocks cut to shape,
and the outside view,
and a couple of views with the plans,
.
