JvO model (4)

The Otago Museum in Dunedin, New Zealand has a whole floor devoted to matters maritime, including the largest single collection of ship models in NZ (and probably the southern hemisphere) and models of Union SS Co of NZ vessels.

The model of the Dutch migrant liner Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (JvO for short!) is of course my favourite, havng made 3 long voyages on that ship.

The model shows her as she appeared after her conversion for cruising and round-the-world voyages (1959-63)

Behind the JvO model is a smaller model of the Oranje of 1939.
