Teak Timber Vintage Boat on Trailer, Yanmar Diesel


This boat is 150 years old and from the SS Leura, it was a 758-ton iron screw steamship built in Liverpool in 1875 that operated as a conventional tramp steamer in Australian waters till 1936 when it was scuttled in Storm Bay, Tasmania. This is one of its lifeboats which has been kept undercover since. It is made from teak and only has a couple of split planks that need repairing. Cabin not original of course, would be easily removed as previous owner was making it look like a ferry. It has been fitted with a brand new Yanmar diesel but has been it it for a while unused.
