Colo Colo is a historic tugboat of the Chilean Navy built in Scotland 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]
During the Chilean naval mutiny of 1931 she chased the Chilean submarine Rucumilla near the Quiriquina Island. [3]
In 1987 she was withdrawn from service and preserved at the Chilean Navy Museum at Punta Arenas. [1]
