Acielle
The ''Acielle'' was a wooden ketch that was wrecked south of Smoky Cape, New South Wales on 11 September 1929. == Service history == The ''Acielle'' was launched in Tasmania, and sold to Mr Lebbeus Hordern of Sydney, who is credited with first having brought seaplanes to Australian waters.〔("Death of Mr L. Hordern" ), ''The Argus'', 11 September 1928.〕 Hordern used the ''Acielle'' as a parent ship for his seaplane, and named her after his survey company, ACL (Aerial Company Limited).〔Hernan, Brian H. (2007). (''Forgotten Flyer'' ). Tangee Publishing. p.55.〕 In 1921, Hordern purchased another four seaplanes, two Curtiss three-seater 'Seagull' flying boats, a ten-seater Short twin engined craft, and a Short sporting seaplane. With no expense spared, he equipped the ''Acielle'' and set out to complete the first aerial navigation of the entire Australian coastline, covering around 150 miles per day.〔(History of Rolls Royce Chassis Number 2142 )〕 Eventually the ''Acielle'' was sold on again, and was next used as a pleasure yacht,〔("Ketch driven ashore" ), ''The Argus'', 13 September 1929.〕 then refitted by the Australian Iron and Steel Company for a trip to investigate iron ore deposits on the northwest coast of Australia.〔(Kempsey Heritage Inventory )〕
