Colo Colo is an historic tugboat of the Chilean Navy. Bow, McLachlan and Company of Paisley in Renfrewshire, Scotland built her for Chile in 1931.[1] She was a steamship until she was reconditioned in 1971,[2] at which time she was re-engined as a motor vessel.[1] She spent her service career in southern Chile.[2] In 1987 she was withdrawn from service and preserved at the Chilean Navy Museum at Punta Arenas.[1]
