Super ship Fremantle bound

ONE of the world’s great ships, the Randstad Clipper Stad Amsterdam, arrives in Fremantle on Sunday for a three-day stay.

The length of two-and-a-half Sydney to Hobart super-maxi yachts, the Randstad shouldn't be hard to spot considering it has 29 sails and its mast is as tall as a 15-storey building.

As part of its worldwide voyage to celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, the ship is retracing the exact route of Darwin’s journey on the Beagle.

Darwin’s great, great granddaughter Sarah is on board.
