Sailing Days Recalled

The barque Pamir, which for seven years sailed under the New Zealand flag, has crew members scattered all over New Zealand. Thirteen of them living in the Nelson district came together recently for a reunion. During the evening, opportunity was taken to present to the Pamir Sea Scouts, Motueka, a shield made from a piece of wood from the Pamir's bridge.
