Shipmates

Emily brings her friends home to the Cape Otway Lighthouse for her twelfth birthday. Her fisherman friend Jack gives her a model of the “Loch Ard” one of the clipper ships which foundered on the coast. Jack is keen to catch the tagged fish which will win him a new boat. But the “Loch Ard” has plans of its own. Rated: G
