1903 Tugboat Argos

Owned by Transport Heritage Australia the Tugboat Argos was moved to her new home to continue restoration work. Argos was built in 1903 in Berrys Bay under the name Gladys Ellison, sometime in the 60s she was converted to desiel and in the 90s went to Pittwater under a new owner.

Towing boat is from the old Ports and Harbours Dept in Williamstown, Victoria. I recognise that wheel house as another one of Clive Barnard the head shipwright there, nice design updates in the 1970's.

I wander if that Tug was in any danger of being mistaken for a surfaced submarine in the 40's?

Why don’t you do a tour of the boat? That is what people want see, not a boat being towed to music for 20 mins.

Hi Norman thanks for your feedback, I do not own any of the vessels in this video. Unfortunately I was on the drone this day and didn't take any onboard footage.

Whats the name of the first boat

[@lopezwoodenboats8441]

Hyda is the tow boat and Argos is the Tugboat being towed. Lyndenne is the sail boat following in some shots
