Description: A container ship plunges under the waves. It carries a container with the label 'Nora Hole-borer' and with a large hole in its side. A crew member comments 'Hmmm...and you're quite sure it was switched off?' In July 2013 it was announced that the the worlds 10th largest tunnelling boring machine (TBM) was being shipped to Auckland to construct the city's Waterview Connection tunnels. A naming competition was run among Auckland schools to provide a female name, in informal compliance with maritime custom. 'Nora' did not win - 'Alice' was the name chosen. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
