MV *Cape Don* is a former Commonwealth Lighthouse Service tender, designed by the Australian Shipping Board and built at the State Dockyard in Newcastle. She was launched on 28 May 1962, commissioned in 1964, and worked the Australian coast until 1990, servicing lighthouses, lightships, and buoys across more than a quarter of a century. Her sister ships were *Cape Moreton* and *Cape Pillar*. Her log includes the 1973 recovery of two of HMS *Investigator*'s anchors from the Recherche Archipelago and the 1979 establishment of the first marine monitoring station in Bass Strait. Decommissioned in 1990, she is now moored at Berry's Bay, Waverton, where the Sea Heritage Foundation is restoring her as a museum and training ship.

Read the noteI'm not trying to make out like I'm some kind of mysterious urbex badass. Lost Collective isn't about me. It's about the places I shoot and even more about the connection that the people have to the sites.

Often I'd find myself looking at the machines and architecture and challenging myself to find one single object designed purely for aesthetics. Craftsmanship made way for efficiency in engineering long before I'd even left school.

People talk about what it was like to work or stay in these places, who they knew, what they did, how great the Christmas parties were, that store man nobody liked, what all the different machines were, how they worked and what became of them.
