Cape Don MV

The MV Cape Don was commissioned in 1963, one of a unique class of ships purpose-built to service navigational aids (including manned lighthouses) primarily around the West Australian coastline. The Cape Don was retired in the late 1980's when Australian lighthouses were automated. It was saved from scuttling in 2003, and is now berthed at the Old Coal Loader Wharf in Waverton, on Sydney Harbour (also the location of The Mess Hall, The Coal Loader, Waverton).
