LADY MELLON
Bay of Islands woody, Dean Wright, sent in the photos above of – Lady Mellon. Not your traditional row boat that we see on WW, check out the rower seat 🙂
I understand from Dean that her time afloat was short lived, these days she lives as a ceiling decoration in a grand Waipiro Bay home.

Input from Dean Wright – It was built by a chap in Russell Bruce Black
