The series

MV Cape Don

2015 · 18 photographs

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.
