Another photo ex Lew Redwood’s FB page – showing the motor- launch Maunganui in Milford Sound.

I think she’s the first ENDEAVOUR at Milford Sound renamed MAUNGANUI after the USS Co cruise ship that visited the Sounds frequently. If so she was built by J.J. Gough in Invercargill. The second ENDEAVOUR at Milford was built by E.R. Lane at Picton in 1924 but she was 43ft and licensed for 60 pax.
