Comment

I believe George Francis Burton sailed this schooner, Annie Taylor, for the coastal shipping trade, based in Port Adelaide, up unitl approx 1884, whence he became the harbour pilot with Spencers Gulf Services until his death on June 2 1904. Sourcedf rom the local evening news, story regarding his death.
