Alternative NameThe PelicanAdditional InformationThe Parkyn family eventually had Miss Tewantin II built by local shipwright, James McKenna, to help ferry tourists on the river. Their fleet grew up to around 30 boats for hire, as well as the prawn catching Victory. In 1965, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester travelled aboard the Miss Tewantin during their visit to Noosa. The following year the Parkyn brothers sold their boats. But Miss Tewantin was still in service until 1983 on the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales before being renamed The Pelican and beginning work at Port Macquarie.
