Colo Colo is a historic tugboat of the Chilean Navy built in Scotland for Chile in 1931.[2] She was a steamship until she was reconditioned in 1971,[1] at which time she was re-engined as a motor vessel.[2] She spent her service career in southern Chile.[1] 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Chilean naval mutiny of 1931 she chased the Chilean submarine Rucumilla near the Quiriquina Island.[3] In 1987 she was withdrawn from service and preserved at the Chilean Navy Museum at Punta Arenas.[2]
