Our History

A second vessel was built in 1966 for the Port of Launceston Authority, this was the William Robinson. It was a 36 foot relief pilot boat named after one of the Marine Board’s Master Wardens. Using the mast from the Port of Launceston Authority's pile driver the vessel was slung from the wharf and lowered into the water
