Edwin Fox Moved
(From Our Own Reporter) BLENHEIM, Dec. 4. The Edwin Fox, a derelict hulk which has been in Picton harbour for many years, is due for a shift. The Edwin Fox Restoration Society, which bought the hulk for Is from the New Zealand Refrigerating Company, plans to tow the vessel to a beach in Waikawa, about four miles from Picton. The society spent this weekend preparing the hulk for her last trip, as she will be set up as a museum at Waikawa.
The Edwin Fox is the last remaining East Indiaman in existence, and the society was specially formed to save her from destruction.
