CAN WE PUT A NAME TO THIS CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH ALICE

Todays photo is another from the Auckland maritime museum, specifically from the Fletcher Collection and the photographer is listed as William Fletcher. The photo comes to us via Lew Redwood.

Sadly we have no other intel but she does look very familiar.

Anyone able to enlighten us with a name, builder and location etc.

UPDATE – Thanks to input from Nathan Hebert we now know the launch is ALICE, link to Nov 2013 WW story here https://waitematawoodys.com/2013/11/28/alice/

HAROLD KIDD INPUT – ALICE is right, built by Chas Bailey Jr in September 1921 for the Inspector of Fisheries, Northland. 30hp 3 cylinder Twigg.
