The One and All is a tall ship based in Adelaide. One and All was built at North Haven as part of South Australia's 150th jubilee project, and is based on a design of the Postboy.[2] As such her bowsprit, (at almost 13 meters in length), has been described as her "most distinguishing feature".[3] Launched in 1985, the ship took part in the First Fleet re-enactment as part of Australia's bicentenary celebrations, traveling from Rio de Janeiro back to Australia.[1].

The ship has since been host to youth training and mentoring programs for youth at risk, financially supported by the SA State Government and operated by SA Tall Ships inc, however the latter went into liquidation on the 1st of July 2011. Despite tenders closing in early August for a replacement operator, as of March 2012 an announcement is still yet to be made.

Appeals for a corporate white knight has so far been fruitless, [ref: Sunday Mail 26/2/12 It’s all for the One & All with a facebook campaign set up in February 2012 to collect signatures on a petition to save the ship. The petition is calling for government assistance to secure a new operator, ensure the ship continues to be used for youth development and training purposes; and keep it publicly accessible in Port Adelaide. The first tranche with 1994 signatures was presented to SA Parliament by Greens MLC Tammy Franks on February 29th. Further Links
