My Grandfather was a keen photographer for much of his life. The photograph that encouraged me to take up the hobby was of the James Paterson Tug. Taken while working on Port Philip Bay.

What company was the HOLLEYPARK anyone?

From Google AI
The ship name "Hollypark" refers to a British general cargo ship, originally named Empire Tristram, built in 1942 and sold to Denholm Line in 1946, where it was renamed Hollypark. After changing hands and names to Gogovale and Avisvale, it was renamed St. Nicolas in 1961 and eventually scrapped in Yugoslavia in 1967.
This dates the photo to post 1946

The "Hollypark" arrived at Melbourne in October 1947 and again in April 1952
