The Tyne Street Boat Shed – Oamaru
On recent jaunt down south Fiona Driver & Rod Marler discovered The Tyne St Boiat Shed in Oamaru, the shed is the home of the the Friendly Bay Boat Society. Their tagline is “For the use & appreciation of Classic & Traditional Boats & Boating in Oamaru” – nice!
The photos above show a wonderful collection of classic woodys in various degrees of condition. What a wonderful facility to have, I would love to see Auckland’s Vos Shed be like this.
The photos below show a 43’ Millar & Tunnage built vessel that is powered by a Kelvin diesel currently being restored by the owner, looks a big project but she is in a great location for the work.

The Auckland city council doesn’t do ‘Heritage’ in this day and age, particularly where it concerns maritime matters.

I would support it (the vos shed). It’s spots like this that help to create wider public interest for the cause.
