Australian salvage tug tales of peril and prize
A chaotic Canberra era dispatch recounts daring sea rescues by salvage tugs aiding ships like the Pinnashin and the Atlante in peril at sea. It highlights the brutal 100 mile tow to safety, damage to hulls, and crews repeatedly braving peril to save cargo and lives. The report notes British and American service, torpedo threats, and Australian shipyard efforts supporting wartime logistics.
