Historic passenger vessel CARTELA, laid-up in Franklin (south of Hobart), Tasmania, Australia. 26/08/2020

CARTELA has been laid-up at Franklin since August 2014. It was initially hoped that the 108-year-old vessel would undergo significant restoration work whilst at Franklin. However, it seems as though this plan has fallen through, as the vessel looks in relatively poor condition, and recently, has been put on the market. Price: $250,000 (AUD)
