SS ''Wyola'' was a steam tug built in 1912 by LT Eltringham & Co of South Shields, England for the Swan River Shipping Company of Western Australia. ''Wyola'' was long between perpendiculars, had a beam of , a depth of and a draught of . Her 179 NHP (1,200 horsepower) triple-expansion engine gave ''Wyola'' a speed of . She was also fitted with a powerful salvage pump, making her one of the most powerful tugs in Australia at that time. While being delivered to Fremantle, ''Wyola'' was sent to rescue the barque ''Concordia'', which had been grounded by a cyclone that hit Depuch Island in early 1912. On 13 June 1920 ''Wyola'' sailed from Fremantle Harbour into a storm to rescue the steamship ''Kingsmere'', which had lost her rudder while crossing the Great Australian Bight. On 5 January 1921 ''Wyola'' arrived in Carnarvon, WA to rescue the State Shipping Service of Western Australia steamship , which was on fire. The tug's crew sank ''Kwinana'' in shallow water at her moorings to extinguish the fire, and then raised her by pumping her out with the tug's pump. In 1933 ''Wyola'' underwent repairs on the Fremantle slips, when some of her plates were so worn that a hole was accidentally knocked through one. In 1970 ''Wyola'' was dismantled at Robb Jetty, south of Fremantle. Her remains are buried in the sand at CY O'Connor Beach in North Coogee, with some of her stern still visible.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SS Wyola」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
