Mystery Launch 24/06

Mystery Launch 24/06

The above photo, according to its tag on Pictures-past was taken in 1946 & the launch is nudged into the causeway between Rangitoto Island & Motutapu Island.

Its a big ask but is anyone prepared to have a go at ID’ing her?. The square windows may help.

She reminds me very much of Claude Atherton’s MANUWAI recently owned by CYA member Ralph Power as MANO-WAI, but perhaps I haven’t counted the ports correctly?
