Additional NotesThe third ship purchased from R S Lamb, Sydney. In 1935 had a narrow escape when she stranded on a gravel bank in the Grey River and some 300 tons of timber had to be offloaded before she swung free 4 days later. In May 1936 she became the first steamer to take milled timber from Bruce Bay, Westland for Melbourne. Last edited by: John Brown
