| Sources | The West Australian 17/10/1928 The old hull of the hopper dredge Parmelia was towed out to Rottnest yesterday and scuttled in deep water by the Harbour and ? Light Department. The Parmelia, designed by the late Mr. C. Y. O'Connor (Engineer-in-Chief), and built in Scotland in 1S96, at a cost of about ? £20,000, did good service at Fremantle and other ports of the State. Last year her ' machinery and dredging gear were transferred from the old hull into a new hull built by the State Implement Works. The new dredge is expected to be ready for work at the end of this year. |
