She was built in [Midland](/source/Midland%2C_Ontario), [Ontario](/source/Ontario), Canada in 1945 as the *Rockwing*, then renamed *Tapline 2* (1948–49) and *Abqaiq 3* (1949-1954). She received the name *Fearless* in 1954.[1] *Fearless* was put up for sale in 1972 in [Brisbane, Australia](/source/Brisbane%2C_Australia) and bought by Keith LeLeu for $1. He sailed her to [Port Adelaide](/source/Port_Adelaide) in with a volunteer crew, taking nine days. Four months later LeLeu sold the ship, with other museum materials, to the [National Trust of South Australia](/source/National_Trust_of_South_Australia), again for $1. The collection was subsequently transferred to the [History Trust of South Australia](/source/History_Trust_of_South_Australia) with the *Fearless* being transferred at a later date to a developer called Southern Sea Eagles.[2][3] In 2017, *Fearless* was one of the ships considered in a study funded by [Renewal SA](/source/Renewal_SA) about "a strategy for berthing or locating historic ships and vessels within the inner harbour of Port Adelaide."[4] And the ship was moved to Cruickshank's Corner in Port Adelaide. ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-3) [***e***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-4) [***f***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-5) [***g***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-6) [***h***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-7) [***i***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-8) [***j***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-9) [***k***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-10) [***l***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-11) [***m***](#cite_ref-GL-index_1-12) ["ROCKWING"](http://greatlakes.bgsu.edu/vessel/view/005759). *Great Lakes Vessels Online Index*.
