Hi all, some interesting news. Author Garry Kerr is currently in T.I. collecting interviews and testimonials from surviving divers and crew of the Torres...
Hi Mori Interesting! I can't recall seeing the name, but a survey at Cooktown in 1899 (the year of the great cyclone!) is suggestive. The Cooktown records are...
Hi Mori, It seems a reasonable suggestion given the dimensions and the Qld survey at that time. She is a just bit beamy for the standard 36 foot pearler...

Michael If you do look at her, look for official numbers Winnejup 196901 Doris Marea 140243 Skelton 140240 The date for Skelton of 1953 seems closest to South...
Yes, if she is a 50's Broome lugger, she would be one of three - SKELTON, DORIS MAREA or WINNEJUP. Have asked the broker for any more info on history - we'll...
Well spotted! She does look like a Broome lugger, doesn't she? Right size too. From the crime scene link (awful!), I assume she's lying in Darwin. Perhaps...
Hi Graham Welcome to the list. I'd be very happy to help you build an authentic model (it's one of the reasons I've been doing this stuff!). I've sent you an...

Hi Tony I have long thought of building a pearling lugger but have not found sufficient hull lines to get started on a reasonably authentic model. I have...

Hi folks, in more lugger news from north Queensland I see that WINSTON is up for sale. She was one of the four "-ton" sisters built in Cairns for J.B. Witt,...
Hi Michael A pity, but I agree it's hard to reconcile that hull with anything resembling a lugger. Rats! ... former Broome lugger ... inclined to think this...
Dear Mike Thanks for the update. Yes, my feeling is that this vessel is unlikely to have been a pearling lugger. However, if asked I would have guessed she...
Dear all, I've finally tracked down the owner of the launch REX, the putative former Broome lugger now at Goolwa, SA. I've spoken to both him and the former...
