WHAT BECAME OF THE CLASSIC LAUNCH – ADELA + WW HITS 15 MILLION VIEWS
Todays woody photo comes to us from the ’Thames Historic Pictures’ fb via Lew Redwood and features a launch named ADELA. The photo is ex the Judd family album and the tag was ’The Judd’s at play on ADELA presumably on the firth’ (of Thames).
ADELA has not appeared on WW before so it would be nice to learn what became this rather smart looking classic wooden launch.
On the THP site I found the two photos below – tagged ‘Fenton Bros of Turua 1960s carting some big logs’ – Could have built a few woodys from those logs, sadly probably went into the domestic housing market.

15 Million views – What a fabulous effort Alan. I still remember when you told me to log the next day to WW, and you noted that I am starting something worthwhile for wooden boaties. Well it is MORE then WORTHWHILE.

I think the image of ADELA could be taken around the Mansion House Bay area at Kawau as in the background it looks like Rabbit Island & typical mainland silhouette of that area. — KEN R
