MYSTERY LAUNCH – Waiheke Island
Today’s woody is a newbie to me, the caption reads “All hands on deck – As we enters the channel to our secret bay near our campsite on Waiheke Island”
Looking at the photo I would say the location is Garden Cove, refer photos below
Can anyone ID the vessel & confirm the location?
I’d also have to go with Thora, She was named after Harry Jenkin’s daughter Thora Parker (Nee Jenkins) . Mr Jenkins went on to have Shenandoah and later New Golden Hind.He also had a great range of cars 1910 cadillac, a Sunbeam and a 1923 Rolls Royce.If any one wants to know how you get out of a bad situation you should Thora Parker’s book And Not to Yield on recovering crew off Piercy Rock with the Shenandoah.
