MYSTERY 1933 MULLET BOAT
Todays outstanding classic wooden yacht photo comes to us from Heritage Images – TW Collions collection via a Lew Redwood fb post.
The photo is tagged ‘1933 Mullett boat under power Bay of Islands’, and that woodys is all we know.
To me it has a Whangaroa Harbour look to it but I’m sure I’ll be corrected 🙂
Tudor Collins was a very talented photographer and most of his work is clearly identifiable without any reference to his name. The Bay of Islands was one of his favourite locations and his collection of work is vast and just not limited to marine. In fact better known for his native bush / forest work.
Can we learn the yachts names and designer / builder.

There is a chance that this is Cora, [H3 Logan Bros 1910].
It does look like Cape Brett area to me also.
Owned by Ivan Anderson of Russell , he inherited the 28′ mulletty from Charlie Hansen [of Moturekareka Is], in the ’50,s and kept it till his death in late Eighties, moored out the front of the Duke of Malborough.
We have looked after Cora for the last 34 years and she is in pretty sound order.

Dave Jackson says there was a big mullet boat in The Bay of Islands that belonged to a ‘Fishing inspector’ from the Bay. Apparently he owned it for years and Dave recalled he had seen it still in the Bay some years ago when he was up there. He said it would be about 28 ft and was called Kora (not sure of the spelling, might be Cora?) and it looked pretty ship shape in the photo.
