Another Challenging Restoration

16/10/2008

Peter Murton from Richmond in Nelson has recently acquired from Alexandra the 16’ fantail steam launch (pictured below) which has spent the last 15 years as a garden fixture.  He believes that it was built in 1895 in the Invercargill area but is unsure of the actual builder. He has a new twin 21/4HP steam engine and a black staff water tube boiler to place in her when restored.  Despite appearances the kauri hull is in good condition without any rot. Peter would be pleased to hear from anyone who may have further knowledge about the boat.
