MV Valdura (later named Penguin) is a preserved small ferry used on the Swan river and in Fremantle Harbour between 1912 and 1967.

Valdura was built in 1912 by Thomas Hill in Perth[1][2][3] for the Swan River Ferry Company[4] founded by the Scandinavian immigrants Herman[5] "Harry" Sutton and Jack Olsen for use on the Swan river,[4] it was constructed with a jarrah frame, karri planking, and likely propelled at this time by a Union 15 horsepower 2-cylinder engine, as this was the engine installed on sister-ship Valkyrie, with a total capacity of 76 passengers.

[3][1] After the war, Lappin sold the fleet in 1949 due to increasing competition from public transport, with Valdura being part of four Val-boats sold to the Fremantle Harbour Trust in 1953 for use to transport workers around Fremantle Harbour between North and South Wharves.

[1] After the sale it was renamed Penguin and underwent a year-long overhaul with new superstructure, wheelhouse, and a 19-horsepower Gardner engine installed.

[1] Valdura was used as a houseboat before being abandoned in the Swan river, becoming a danger to navigation, the Swan River Trust donating the stricken ship to the Western Australian Maritime Museum in 1993,[1] it's restoration was complete by 2001,[8] and Valdura is now displayed in the main maritime museum building at Elizabeth Quay.
