New Trawler Launched

The 50ft trawler "Tainui", built in Nelson by Curnow and Wilton for the West Coast fishing waters, was launched earlier this month. The vessel, built of kauri and Australian hardwood, belongs to Mr A. W. Goldie, of Greymouth. Resplendent in new paint and dressed for the occasion, the trawler slid quietly into the water after being dedicated by the Bishop (the Rt Rev F. O. Hulme-Moir) and christened by Mrs Joy Hope.
