Description

The cartoon shows an old ship with the face of a painted harlot. She says that if it's real steam you want, bring back the Chathams' fishermen!' The new owners of the 100 year old ship which they are turning into an excursion steam-boat are somewhat shocked but given that the ship was once a floating brothel for the Chatham Islands maybe they shouldn't be. The Kerikeri Steam Trust has begun the restoration of the 1910 passenger ferry SS Minerva, and ultimately plans to have it link with the vintage railway from Kawakawa to Opua in the Bay of Islands, the Northern Advocate reported.
