The MV Nelcebee is an auxiliary schooner that served the South Australian coastal trade from 1883 to 1982.
It was assembled and tested before being broken into parts and shipped to South Australia where it was reassembled by Thomas Cruickshank in Port Adelaide.
It commenced operation in the South Australian coastal trade from 1928 serving Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent ports and carrying loads such as wheat, gypsum, and minerals.
In 1962 the vessel was sold to R Fricker and Company and commenced working to supply Kangaroo Island until it was retired in 1982.
[1] Nelcebee was the second to last ketch operating in the South Australian coastal trade along with Falie.
