M.V. “Tulagi”

New B.P. Freighter Enters Central Pacific Service

THE new motor-vessel “Tulagi”, which has just been built for Messrs. Burns, Philp and Co. Ltd., in Hong Kong, is ex pected to reach Sydney, ready to begin service, at the end of July. She will sail, at an early date, for Fiji.

The “Tulagi” will run regularly (about every three months) between Sydney and North American ports, via Fiji and Tonga, and calling at various Central Pacific is lands, such as Washington, Christmas, etc., where copra may be picked up. She is a handsome ship, of the same attractive design, and about the same size, as the B.P. motor-vessel “Malaita”, now in the Solomons service. She has a small draught, to allow her to work small ports and shallow anchorages. She will call regularly at Western American ports, in cluding Mexico and North-west Canada.

The “Tulagi” has comfortable accom modation for 12 passengers.
