END OF SEA TRADE TO BANKS PENINSULA BAYS.—The Lyttelton passenger and cargo launch Owaka, which has been sold to a North Auckland launch-owner for use in the Bay of Islands. The sale brings to a close a century-old service by sea from Lyttelton to the Banks Peninsula bays. This photograph, taken a number of years ago, shows the Owaka carrying a school picnic party to Corsair Bay. In the early days the sea provided the only access to the Banks Peninsula bays, but throughout the years the trade has dwindled and now the service has come to an end.
