2004: Information received says that the "Tiki " was built
at Wollongong on the Southern coast of New South Wales (Australia) prior
to 1920 . It was owned by a Mr Bob Morris for many years and was, apparently,
moored at Birkenhead Marina in Sydney Harbour in the late 1980s. The schooner
was bought buy a young couple who took it to the Mediterranean where it
still is as far as we know. October 2004 : A French Canadian amateur Radio operator informs that in the radio room of the Tiki, you can read the radio call sign ZL2AMU.(Thanks Michel from Quebec/Canada).
2006 : Last but not least information on Tiki's origin, which has my agreement as it sticks well with comments already stated above: The
Tiki was a John Alden designed schooner named Pilgrim built
for American yachtsman adventurer Donald C.Starr who sailed her around
the world from Boston Massachusetts in 1932. One can read about this voyage
in his book "The Schooner Pilgrim's Progress" (still available
from the bookshop at the Mystic Seaport. Mystic Connecticut, USA).
