The ship is a state-owned steel ketch with an auxiliary engine, built in the Netherlands in 1919. Since 1923, she has been primarily based in Port Adelaide as part of the coastal trading mosquito fleet. Since 2010 Falie has been a floating museum and an icon for the Port’s maritime past.

We acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the great Adelaide region. We also acknowledge other Aboriginal people to whose land the Falie visited in the past. The First Australians have a unique cultural and spiritual relationship to the land, sea, waterways and sky. Their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to them today.
