UNID lugger possibly Siput (1942)
Butcher Inlet, Cossack
‘Several other remains of vessels are visible near the Amy; one of these may be the lighter Cossack which was still in casual service late in the 1890s. Two or possible three will be the remains of luggers owned by Muramats and destroyed during the last war by the Army or Navy.’ (Thompson n.d.)
May be the Siput, Mars, Lotolop or Gladys Olive all of which were owned by Jiro Muramats and had their registrations cancelled on 19/8/1986 as there was ‘no trace of the vessel or their owners’ (Dickson 1996)
