Washed ashore like a forgotten toy, the Shipwreck: Redbird rests silently near the Hastings Jetty. It’s a stark contrast to the bustling life around it. The Shipwreck: Redbird whispers tales of a time gone by. Let’s uncover its secrets. Born in Williamstown in 1915, the Shipwreck: Redbird started life as a sturdy tugboat named “ANVAC”. World War 1 ended. New laws prohibited commercial use of its patriotic name. Rechristened “Redbird”, it toiled tirelessly for the Melbourne Harbour Trust. In 1934, dreams of a fishing vessel led to its sale to Mr. Dyson. Sadly, he couldn’t bring his plan to fruition. The Shipwreck: Redbird lay idle. Then, a furious gale in the 1940s ripped it from its moorings. Adrift and forgotten, it eventually ran aground, doomed to become a hauntingly beautiful shipwreck. And that’s how it remains today – a silent sentinel of the sea.
