Additional NotesProbably the first Union Company built ship to have an all steel bridge front as opposed to the varnished teak wood front. Designed as a fruit carrier from the Pacific Islands and painted white. In late 1960 reverted to NZ coastal trade and painted traditional bronze green hull. Last edited by: John Brown
