There is nothing like a good ol' tug, and the 'Phoenix' looks like one of the best. I like the sense of movement from the fluttering flags. Does the one on the mast mean "2" ? Apart from a few scratches on the hull, she looks fairly new, so this photo is c.1900?

I think we might need a tugboat and/or flag expert to help out here, beachcomberaustralia!

A magnificent craft.....I wonder whatever happened to it ? Are there any historical records of the 'Phoenix' other than your record ?

Nev We have two other photos of the "Phoenix" here and here - I'm sure you'd find more in an Internet search. Picture Australia would be a good place to start. AB

A wonderful action capture. I would love to know what wharf she was on, but 70+ years on it would be difficult.
