The Portland - detail 4
The Portland - a sailing hold scow, built of kauri in 1910.
She traded in and around Auckland until 1932
when she came to Nelson, and traded between the Tasman Bay harbours and Wellington for over 40 years.
The Portland is one of the few surviving serviceable hold scow in New Zealand,
most of these ships were taken to the Pacific for war use and never came back.
The Portland is currently moored at Pounawea in The Catlins.
But I hear rumours she's sold and may be moving back to Auckland. Rumours...
