MAITLAND was completed by J. Knox at South Hylton in 1885 for Gulf Steamship Co. Ltd, Port Adelaide and used at various times as a tug and a passenger ferry, various owners around Melbourne and finally with Marine Board of Launceston who scuttled her off Tasmania in 1955.

Did she get out there under her own steam??

If so, I bet it was fun!
