WATERFRONT CLASSIC BOAT DOCKS –  FLASHBACK

Todays woody photos popped up on the Westmere Community fb page (P Stanbrooke) and come to us via Lew Redwood.

The craft are ‘hauled out’ on the foreshore below Marine Parade and dated c.1914.

Sadly the days of being able to store your boat there are long gone, these days its all private jetties and razor wire.

In the late 1960’s this area was one of my boyhood playgrounds, but even then the boats had gone. Probably moved to Westhaven swing moorings.
