WAINUI’S END AFTER FORTY-THREE YEARS Dominion '■ • < iai Service. Auckland, September 80. The Union Company’s old steamer Walnut, which has been lying jn "Rotten Row” for some time, was towed to Julian’s Wall this morning to be stripped by shipbreakors. The hull has been sold to Mr. K. Shakespeare, and is to be used as a breakwater at Whangaparaoa. The Walnul was built in 1886, and was engaged for many years in the southern coastal trade. Site was in the AucklandGisborne trade from 1924 to 1927. She was then laid up and later purchased by the firm of Borlasc and McKay. In the nineties the Wailiui went ashore on the Beef Barrels, near D’Urville Island in Cook Strait, and bad to be beached in a nelglibouriutig bay uutil repairs were made. Twenty years ago, when the barque Waiiti was dismasted by capsizing in the Kalpara Harbour, the Wainul towed the sailer to Lyttelton. The Walnul will add one to the number of old Union Company steamers to end their ’days as a breakwater, others being the Monowai, Talune. Te Anau, and Wellington. Negotiations have been opened by a southern firm tor the purchase of the Union Company’s wooden steamer Tuatea (112 tons), which is at present being used as a tug on Auckland Harbour.
