      Description: Defriez was a shipwright surveyor, tug master and an emergency pilot for the Marine Board. In one unfortunate incident he grounded the CITY OF ELWOOD off Sandy Bay and was suspended for 6 months. He retired, aged 72, in 1947 after a particularly hair-raising journey bringing a wooden tugboat to Hobart.
