Pride of the River

Helen Coughlan

Forceful, the ocean-going, coal burning tugboat is one of the icons of the age of steam. Now a starring member of the Queensland Maritime Museum, Forceful has a proud history of service over 45 years on the Brisbane River and the waters off Australia. In 2010, Forceful has celebrated her 85th birthday, and her adventure story is told in this beautifully illustrated children’s book which will appeal to all ages.
