OLDEST SHIP IN DOCK. WHALER BUILT 97 YEARS AGO. The oldest vessel in the Port of Melbourne, and one claimed to be the veteran of all shipping in the Southern Hemisphere, is in the floating dock at Williamstown for overhaul (states the 1 Argus ’ of’ September 21). The ship is the 278-ton wooden wool lighter Mario Laure, which is now owned by the Victorian Lighterage Co. Pty. Ltd. The lighter was built at the Seychelles Islands, in. the Indian Ocean, in 1840, as a sailing whaler. Her ago of 97 years makes even the Edina appear young. The Marie Laure is being overhauled by engineers of the Hobson’s Bay Dock and Engineering Co. Pty. Ltd., which owns the floating dock. They reported that the hull is still in almost perfect condition. The seas of nearly a century haye left little trace on the great baulks of timber which have ploughed through the icefloes of Antarctica and the Behring Straight. Shipwrights and boatbuilders have been interested in the planking of the vessel. The cutting and turning of the timbers has been done on a principle no longer known in shipbuilding, and almost identical with, methods of construction in the time of Elizabeth. For many years the Marie Laure sailed the “northern grounds” from Greenland to the Behring Strait in search of whales. She also traded as a whaler out of Hobart for many years, and in Melbourne she has for company the hulk Helen, which was the last sailing whaler to sail from Hobart.
