Built in 1954 by John Brown 7 Co 10,936 GRT 2 x 12 cyl Sulzer sgl reduction geared- magnectic coupled. 16 kts; Great help when manouvering.

The picture by Duncan Haws in his paper back depicts her as only having 5 hatches. When I know for a fact after sailing on her for over a year she had six!! Yet he shows her sister ship the Otaki with six!! Maybe he had a bad pint of Wellington bitter that day.

Having problems decreasing size of picture to fit any one help?
