Sold to Goldfields Metal Traders for scrapping and towed to Robb Jetty. At The jetty a barge was moored alongside with the sign ‘Randy’s Wreckers’ displayed. As the tug was cut down so it gradually worked shorewards until it grounded. The hull was drawn up onto the shoreline and was further cut down until only keel, part of the sternpost and the stern frame remained. This was eventually covered with sand and the barge also came ashore and became derelict, caught fire with some timbers now remaining nearby.
