CLASSIC WOODEN BIG GAME BOAT – OZONE

Back in July 2016 we ran a WW story on the 1914 , Percy McIntosh built game boat OZONE, linked below, then last week a woody reader – Stuart Windross posted a comment that he had come across a great photograph of Ozone with a swordfish across her transom, pictured above. 

Accompanying the photo on line was an article on the Anich family, it would appear that OZONE may have been owned for a time by the family fishing out of Sandspit.  If so her catch would be supplying the famous Tony’s restaurant and fish shop in Warkworth. On the same web page (not in English) were the photos below – first time I have seen a sword fish weighed in like that.
