COASTAL BOAT SOLD
Richardson’s Gunbar
USE IN AUSTRALIAN TRADE
The Richardson Company’s steamer Gunbar has been sold to Australian buyers and is to leave for Sydney in a few weeks to trade on the Australian coast. The vessel has been in New Zealand waters for nearly nine years and during half that period has been lying idle in Auckland Harbour. She is a twin-screw vessel of 482 tons and was built at Ardrossan, Scotland, in 11)11 lor the North Coast Steam Navigation Company, Sydney. She ran in the Sydney-North Coast ports of Australia trade for nearly 11 years until she was too small for the service. The Gunbar was later sold to New Zealand buyers and reached Auckland from Port Stephens on October 10, 1926. Afterwards she traded from Auckland to East Coast bays, Gisborne and Napier, under the service of the Gunbar Shipping Company, of Hastings. About the middle of July, 1929, she was purchased by the Richardson Shipping Company, which continued to employ her in the same trade for a short period until the shipping depression necessitated the withdrawal of a considerable number of vessels trading in New Zealand waters.
