Public comments

This photo shows the ORARI built 1906 by Wm. Denny & Bros., of Dumbarton for the New Zealand Sg. co. Ltd.. Her sistership was the OPAWA, but this vessel had king posts between bridge and foremast, whilst the ORARI had cranes, as is just visible in this photograph. Best wishes, Kees Lous Velsen-Zuid Nederland
