Launched in 1892 - see full details etc - This photo seems to be 1930s from all the suburban sprawl behind. And the superstructure has been altered since this Samuel J. Hood photo (ANMM) -

There were three Captain Cook Pilot vessels The one built in 1892 was No 2 . The photo above is Number 3 . Built in 1939 A bit of history>>>> Captain Cook III The third of three pilot vessels of the same name, Captain Cook was built 1939 by Morts Dock & Engineering Co., of Balmain, N.S.W., Australia, for the N.S.W. Maritime Services Board. Morts Dock won a tender in 1936 with the price of ï¿½75,000 Cook III was to become Morts' ship no. 46, engine no. 447, and boiler no. 811. She was registered in the Port of Sydney and had a tonnage of 524 gross and 214 net. She had a length of 165.7 feet, a width of 26.6 feet, and a depth of 15.2 feet. She was built with 1 deck, and had a 3 cylinder engine capable of 165hp which could attain some 12 knots. She carried two boarding boats 18.8 feet x 6.0 feet x 2.1 feet, and a motor dinghy of 15 feet x 5.3 feet x 1.2 feet with a 3hp engine. Cook III went into service in 1939 and was retired in 1959. She was sold originally as a tourist ship for the Mediterranean, but when this plan failed, she was scrapped and broken up in 1960.

nugget1958 Aha, my bad. Thanks. imho 'Captain Cook (III)' looks rather old-fashioned for 1939.
