Description: On 15 August 1920 the auxiliary (with an engine as well as sails) schooner "Jubilee" left Auckland for Niue. She never arrived. By late October/early November the Government steamer "Hinemoa" had searched the Kermadeck Islands for her without success. HMS "Veronica" made enquiries at Niue on her way to Suva. On November 12 the Minister for Marine announced in Parliament that the Government steam ship "Tutanekai" would be used in a search for the"Jubilee". The "Tutanekai" left Auckland early in the morning of November 23. She called into Whangarei later on the same day to pick up bunker coal and left in the evening. She carried a party of men and women who were all probably relatives or friends of the crew and passengers of the "Jubilee". Two were mentioned in the NZ Herald of 23 Nov. as Mr E B Vaile (brother in law of one of the passengers, Mr Head), and Mr M Champion (son of the "jubilee's" Captain). From Whangarei they sailed for the Minerva Reef and Tonga. From Tonga they went to Niue and returned to Auckland via the Kermadeck Islands. There is no indication from the album that they found or discovered what had happened to the "Jubilee". Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
