1920s: lighthouse tender RIP, ex-gunboat PALUMA, on Port Phillip


Ca. 1920s: lighthouse tender RIP, ex-gunboat PALUMA, on Port Phillip Bay - A.C. Green, SLV. 

6314. As modernized around 1916, the 1884-built former 'flat-iron gunboat PALUMA

has built up bows, a new bridge, a new funnel and derricks for her role as the Victorian Ports and Harbours Department's lighthouse tender s.S. RIP [not to be confused with the department's second post-WWII RIP, the former corvette HMAS WHYALLA].

 

We find we had another good viuew of the first SS RIP at Pic. NO. 1470, here:
