And now for something completely different

And a change of pace, this morning I had the opportunity to film a couple of old tugboats.

In the foreground is the Victory, a huon pine carvel built harbour tug owned by Hamish Knox, and the vessel behind is the Wattle which was built at Garden Island in 1933 and is one of only 4 harbour steam tugs left in Australia.
She spent most of her career in the Royal Australian Navy and as well as normal shipping duties was used to tow targets for gunnery practice.
