In 2002 I received an e-mail from a man who had been a part of the crew for Alma's final voyage from Melbourne to Port Macquarie. The purpose of the e-mail was in part to tell me he liked my website but also to make the very kind & generous offer of a CD of some 200 pictures of that trip. He also kindly gave permission for me to publish however many of the pictures I chose on this site. Here are 36 of what I considered the best of the pics.

Many thanks must go to Roger for sharing these pics with me so I in turn could share them with other Tall Ship & Alma Doepel fans worldwide.
