Koi 1906-1930

Details

Description<p>Built by John Shearer Ltd, Glasgow. Steam twin screw. Shipped in sections to Nelson where it was re-assembled and launched on 20 July 1906 as shown in photo. Named after a twin daughter of Will Rogers, then General Manager. The KOI became very popular on the daily passenger and cargo service between Nelson and Motueka. In the 1920's, the rapid development of motor transport between Motueka and Nelson began to reduce profits and in 1930 it was sold to A Perano, Picton to be used as a coal hulk.</p>Date posted25th November 2010
