DescriptionBuilt by Mackie & Thomson, Glasgow in 1909. Steam twin screw. Designed to work the port of Foxton when fully loaded but when she arrived in Nelson it was obvious that this could not happen. She was used subsequently on the West Coast coal trade and later the Onehunga service. Broken up at Wakatahuri, Marlborough Sounds in 1950.
