The Fleet Manifest

Constructed in 1873 directly by the firm's founder, Robert T. Langley. The Vine served as a primary early cargo carrier, establishing the firm's reputation for reliability in the dangerous cedar trade.

An early foundational vessel utilised for navigating the shallow river bars of the northern rivers to extract raw timber and deliver essential domestic supplies.
