HULK DILPUSSUND
TEMPORARILY IN USE
The announcement was made on 15th January that because of slackness in the coal trade the Union Company had decided to lay up indefinitely three of its historic hulks—the Helen Denny, the Dilpussund, and the Ganyrijede—as an economy measure. The Dilpussund is again in use, but only temporarily and will return to her berth beside the other hulks in Evans Bay within the next few days. The Dilpussund, built over sixty years ago, is a "composite" vessel, built of wood over iron frames. Of about 600 tons, she had a long and comparatively uneventful career. Foi- some years she is said to have sailed under the German flag, and, although this is doubted by some, the fact is now generally accepted. Later she was a British trader One made a number of voyages to New Zealand.
