Are you sure about that, Bob? My other pics of Cape Wrath(1960) & her sister Cape Sable show the same colour-scheme, kingposts and bridge-structure as in this photo.
Cheers,

Just been to the Port of Napier website. Turns out that the coaster is "Titoki", Totara's sister, and
she was in port at the same time as "Cape Wrath", i.e. 25-30th May, 1961. I have amended the above info.
Cheers,
Brent

Looks like Wrath or Sable to me . Both ships sold out of fleet in 1966, CAPE SABLE visiting Bluff as ELISABETH in August 1969 to load bulk wheat. However coaster is TITOKI, not TOTARA ! TITOKI had one winch-cab on the centreline whilst TOTARA had two for each hatch sited on outer port and starboard sides of the mast deckhouse. Happy All Year !, Peter

Thanks Peter--just discovered my old pic was "Titoki" after all. I never knew the difference between them until now--thanks again,
Brent
