ALICE – Workboat Wednesday

The above photo of the workboat – ALICE popped up on a Ray Morey fb post on the ’Tugs & Workboats of NZ’ site. At the time Ray commented that the photo showed ALICE on the Onehunga Harbour, and shows how she looked when she arrived at Tuakau. She was powered by a 3 cyl, 2 stroke Gardner semi diesel engine. Ray also commented that her previous owner was George Higham.

Can we learn more about this very smart looking craft

  1. Russell, different launch altogether, and I was pulled up short by a Higham family member that Alice belonged to George’s uncle Peter Higham

  2. Best thing to do is to type “Alice” in the search panel on Waitemata Woodies. She was rebuilt in a different form and steamed on Lake Taupo for some years….

    Over to you Capt Drake!
