LOOKING FOR HELP IDENTIFYING THIS CLASSIC WOODEN BOAT

Todays woody photo comes to us from the Auckland Libraries Heritage Collection via Nathan Herbert.  All we know is that the ship is the ‘GOTHIC and at the time had a very well known passenger on board  – Queen Elizabeth II, during her 1953 visit to New Zealand.

So woodys can we ID the launch – I’m sure HDK knows the answer 😉

We return to the AWBF tomorrow for a gallery of images from the opening day – Parade of Sail.
