The Sea Harvest

Several new boats have been added in recent months to the collection at Gisborne, including the new tug Hiku-rangi (see elsewhere in this issue) and the tuna-fishing boat Olwyn. A notable new arrival for East Coast Fisheries was the Sea Harvest, built in Wellington.

The Sea Harvest is of all-kauri construction, sturdily built, and is fitted with a l52hp motor.
