03. John Youl’s Chalice

John Youl arrived at George Town in 1819 as the first appointed chaplain for the young Port Dalrymple settlement, and St. John’s Church was built during his time, but died less than 2 years after its opening, and before it was consecrated. His story, however, includes an adventurous time as a missionary to Tahiti, involving cannibals and a cut-throat razor!
