Fearless is a tugboat that is located in Birkenhead, Port Adelaide, Australia.
She was built in Midland, 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.
Fearless was put up for sale in 1972 in Brisbane and bought by Mr Keith LeLeu for $1. He sailed her to Adelaide with a volunteer crew, taking nine days. Four months later LeLeu sold the ship, with other museum materials, to the National Trust of Australia, again for $1.
