Description
This pic was taken while the lugger was in front of Opera house where it was being set up for later concert. It was so difficult to find info about this vessel that I almost gave up ! :)
TRIBAL WARRIOR is a pearling lugger built on Thursday Island in 1899. It was built by Japanese shipwright Tsugitaro Furuta and originally named MINA. It is thought to be the oldest pearling lugger still extant, and one of the earliest craft built by Furuta. TRIBAL WARRIOR's hull shows an early example of a Japanese built Thursday Island vessel, an important stage in the evolution of pearling luggers as a unique Australian type. TRIBAL WARRIOR has a long historical association with Indigenous communities around Australia. In the past, Indigenous crew members worked on MINA in northern Australian waters. More recently, the vessel has been operated by the Sydney based Indigenous organisation the Tribal Warrior Association as a charter and training vessel.
