NORTHERN WAIROA SHIPBUILDING Messrs. Brown and Sons, shipbuilders of Te Kopurn, have launched another vessel from their yards, to do credit to the shipbuilding industry of this district (writes our Northern Wairoa correspondent). The vessel, which was successfully launched on Monday, is a schooner, built to the order of Messrs. Kerr Bros., of the New Hebrides. Her dimensions are 73ft overbad, 18ft beam, and Bft depth, She is to be schooner-rigged, and fitted with an oil engine, avid is expected to possess srood KM'lini;: qualities. She has been well and faithfully built, every detail being carefullv attended to. The vessel is to proceed to Auckland in the course of a few days. It is now only thren and a-nalf months since the builders launched wo 8.3. Naumai. which is now running on our waters and giving general satisfaction. The , firm has on order a steam scow for Messrs Btojrwt Broß.. of Helensville. A era of this sort, should prove a very suitable carrier for our nver work, such as the conveyance of sheep, cattle, and timber. ol
