Vandals Cast Off Moorings
Vandals cast off the moorings from two vessels at Lyttelton early yesterday morning. The Lyttelton Harbourmaster (Captain D. Holden) said later that a serious view was taken of this practice, which was a dangerous one. The two vessels were both laid up and out of commission. i They were the 300-ton, steel-hulled trawler Taimoana 1, berthed at No. 5 East Wharf, and the 215-ton, wooden-hulled motor vessel Toa, berthed at the breastwork adjacent to No. 6 and No. 7 wharves. Neither vessel was damaged. The Lyttelton police are investigating.
