The "Swan" in the Harbour

×

Back again after an absence of 12 months, the Royal Australian Navy's frigate "Swan" made an impressive picture (above) as she entered the Gisborne harbour basin. A round of social and sporting activities marked her two-day stay, and on one afternoon she was thrown open to the public for inspection.

First aboard was local Naval Liaison Officer Mr Owen Poole.
