DOLPHIN V

The above photos of the 43′ launch Dolphin V were sent in by Bruce Ryrie, who had recently been aboard her in Westhaven. 

Designed and built in 1963 by K.E. Swanson, Queen Charlotte Sounds, South Island. She is carvel kauri construction and powered by a Detroit 6v53. And thats all WW knows about her.

The size and location of the exhaust stack indicates a sizeable engine and possible work boat pedigree. 

Hopefully someone can enlighten us as to how she ended up in Auckland.
