Description
Waratah is a coal fired tug and was built at Cockatoo Island, Sydney. She was launched on the 21st May 1902.
Originally named Burunda, her primary role was to tow dredges and barges between the various ports along the NSW coast.
She is the oldest tug in working order in Australia. She carried a crew of 14, including six officers who were accommodated in separate cabins aft. Today sailing with the Sydney Heritage Fleet she still requires a crew of 14.
With raked funnel and counter stern, Waratah has the graceful proportions of a vessel of her era.
This pic was taken on Australian Day, 26th of January.
