The four-masted barque Rewa (2881 tons), the largest British sailing ship still afloat, has been sold to a settler on one of the islands in the Hauraki Gulf. He intends to sink her for a breakwater. Workmen are at present engaged in dismantling the vessel, where she lies off Chelsea, and she is expected to leave in a few days, in tow of a tug, for the final resting place. For seven years, the Rewa has lain at anchor in the stream with only an old watchman, formerly her sailmaker, aboard. She was bought soon after the'war by Geo. H. Sales, Ltd., but the venture was not successful, and she went out of commission. A few months ago the Auckland Harbour Board called the attention of the owners to the fact that some of the Rewa’s plates were so badly rusted that she was in danger of founderng and of becoming a menace to navigation. There was little chance of her ever going to sea again. ' Although the surveyors stated that the replacing of the rusted plates would render her seaworthy, the work of dismantling her commenced some weeks ago, and the hull was offered for sale for breaking up.
