ROLLICKER was a steel twin screw tug of 817 ton. Built in 1919 by Ferguson Bros Ld at Port Glasgow it was owned by the British Admiralty and registered in the port of London under a British flag.

 

Frederick Wilkinson (1901 - 1975) migrated to Australia from England in 1911. While wokring various jobs in and around central Sydney, Wilkinson acquired a camera and began taking photographs of vessels and harbour scenes. Many of his images were used by commercial photographers for souvenir postcards.
