Last Friday ML Egeria hosted former officers of the Hobart Port Division Royal Australian Naval Reserve that was based at the former HMAS Huon. Many will remember the vessels that were attached to Huon namely HMAS Bass (1967-1982) and HMAS Ardent (1982-1992). Egeria was herself attached to Huon as HMAS Tasma back in 1941-1944. The good old days!

Yesterday was the 83rd anniversary of the launching of M.L. Egeria. She was launched at Purdon & Featherstone’s yard Battery Point at 3 pm on 20 October 1941 by the wife of the Master Warden of the Marine Board of Hobart, Mrs L. F. Piesse. Egeria is really looking good for her age and is expected to be around for the next 83 years.

It is always interesting to see who comes onboard Egeria. This week we have had, amongst others, Glenora District High School leavers as well as Terry and his Scotty mates. Will you be next?
