To the stevedores and dockers, there was nothing special about it: just another ship to be loaded and cleared for somewhere on the other side of the world. But we knew better; toe knew that this was the start of a maiden voyage. As the sun went down over London, ‘FREMANTLE STAR’ moved slowly out of the docks, into the river and headed for the sea. Tilbury slipped past... and Southend . . . and the Nore. The Straits of Dover were left astern. The channel pilot was dropped at Dungeness. And ‘Fremantle star’, latest addition to the ships of the Lines, was on her way. One of these days, Tony—you’ll look out of your windows —and you’ll find your ship has come in, right into your own port at Napier. ■ And that is the end of the story - or its beginning. For new ships of the Lines are always being built, to increase our service or replace those vessels whose useful life is ending. To their construction goes the skill and strength and toil of hundreds of men who will never see New Zealand. Yet they are no strangers to New Zealand produce; you, who are our customers, see to that. And the ships which these unknown men create are the link, bringing butter, meat, wool, fruit and cheese to Britain and British goods to you.
