Summary

The steamer S.S. Wookata, Port Adelaide October 1935. Extract from the Chronicle for October 17, 1935 "After having lain in disuse at Birkenhead for a number of years, the 648 ton steamer "Wookata", which was built in 1909 by Mackie and Thomson Limited at Glasgow for Coast Steamships Ltd., is to be converted into a lighter and utilised by the Adelaide Steam Tug Company. For many years the "Wookata" traded between Port Adelaide and such West Coast ports as Venus Bay, Streaky Bay, Denial Bay, Port Le Hunte, and Fowler's Bay. The work of stripping the vessel is proceeding at the Birkenhead slip".
