INDIA – Picton Clinker & Classic Boat Club
Earlier in the week we were contacted by Roy Jones from the Picton Clinker & Classic Boat Club. Roy advised that he had come across a photo of the 1906 Robert Shakespear built launch – INDIA on WW.
INDIA these days is a very active member of the PC&CBC fleet so Roy undertook to pull together an article on INDIA that has appeared in the June 2024 club newsletter.
The PC&CBC is a very active club and meets regularly both on and off the water. This year they celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the club – well done.

During the 1950’s and 60’s my mother who was somehow related to the Shakespears would would drive us up to Whangaparoa to visit. I remember seeing the Frances on the beach and all of the cats they had which were fed pumpkins. Inside was a massive photo of a sailing vessel on the wall. I think the Pamir. The old ladies living there had male names.
