Proof that money isn't what it used to be was given this month by this unusual visitor to Gisborne — the Taranaki Harbour Board's dredge Paritutu. She cost £34,000 in 1910, has now been sold to the Auckland Harbour Board for £40,000, after dredging New Plymouth's harbour for 47 years. The replacement for Taranaki will cost a cool £505,000.
Paritutu, able to carry only two day's fuel, called at Gisborne to re-fuel, later left for her new home via Tauranga.
