The Netherby: about the ship
Thank you to Ernst Rutte for making these two history boards for the 150th commemorations.
Artist of this sketch unknown.
Copy of the ships survey: Origin unknown. I was given a photocopy in a folder of documents by my grandmother in the 1980s.

There are no known pictures of the Netherby herself. Instead we rely on artists imaginings and impressions that I have included below, along with King Island model ship builder Christian Robertson's stunning model he made to share with descendants for the 150th event and is now housed in the Netherby Room, an annex building near the King Island Museum. Hover over the scroller to pause on a picture.
