Quest Darwin  Darwin Harbour CruisesThe Alfred Nobel is a beautiful 30 metre spotted gum schooner built in Newcastle, NSW and has a superbly colourful history. She was built by the New South Wales government in 1951 as Munitions lighter and after years of service in Sydney harbour ferrying ammunition. She was purchased by the Tucker Family of Tasmania in around 1975 to become a floating cabaret boat. She was then towed to Tasmania for the first of her many restorations. The Tumlaren was built in Lavender Bay, Sydney NSW in 1981. She was built by well known Sydney boat builder, Bob Gordon and her design was based on the scaled down version of Dick Smith’s vessel that was taken to Antarctica, also designed by Bob Gordon. Mr Gordon kept the Tumlaren as his personal pleasure/fishing vessel, a true testiment to the functionality and comfort of her design. http://www.darwinharbourcruises.com.au
