A twenty-year dream was realised for a Christchurch steam enthusiast, Ron Culley (centre), when he officially launched his steam boat Anna-Louise on the Avon. The craft is modelled on the steam launches common on English and American rivers last century. The hull was built in Wellington, and the two-cylinder simple expansion steam engine was built by Mr Culley over six years. With Mr Culley are Peter Scott (left), Leonor Pantua and Cathy Smith. -Photograph by ROY SINCLAIR.
