History
|
Classic example of square-bilged scow dating from early 1900's. deck scow with no hold space, all cargo, which was mainly sand, shingle or timber, carried on open deck. In more recent years used to carry general cargo between Auckland and Waiheke Island in Hauraki Gulf. Laid up in late sixties, and now reported to be in nearly restored condition at Hokianga on north-west coast of North Island.
