Cooktown lugger, Queensland

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    Pearling Luggers of the Torres Strait By Christina Ealing-Godbold, Research Librarian, Information Services | 19 November 2014 The luggers were gaff-rigged ketches constructed of wood, and many have continued to sail for more than 60 years. Typically measuring 15 to 20 meters in length, with low waists and bulwarks to assist diving, the two-masted pearling luggers were graceful with curved lines. They were a magnificent sight as they entered the open sea under full sail. There were many hundreds of luggers working across the north of Australia, from Thursday Island to Broome. Many of the luggers were built by Japanese shipwrights on Thursday Island. Indeed, by the turn of the century, the Japanese had a monopoly on the shipbuilding and slipways of the island. The Queensland Museum has examined the woods used in the luggers and has found that typically a mixture of native timbers was used, including melaleuca, turpentine, hoop pine, and sometimes imported timbers such as Oregon pine. The Queensland Maritime Museum at South Bank has restored a pearling lugger that was built on Thursday Island in 1907. Called Penguin, it was a working boat for more than 80 years.

    It's a blind guess but could it be Sugar Loaf?
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    I think it's Cromwell's Bridge in Glengarriff.
  • Niall McAuley said:
    617 next door in the catalogue says Cromwell's Bridge, Glengariff
  • beachcomber australia said:
    It has lost several arches since then. Here at latest 1883 via British Library
  • Niall McAuley said:
    I am a bit doubtful, several sources seem to suggest Cromwell bridge was a single arch.
