Her dimensions' are: —ll2ft in length, 17ft in: breadth, and Bft in depth. Whilst engaged in the Patea trade she was somewhat shorted than at present, but dh relinquishing that running she was lengthened considerably in order to fit her for the trade which she has since maintained. Her first owner was the late Captain W. J. Gibbons, who was master of her for many -years. . She was then sold to the Anchor Shipping Company, of Nelson, which has been her owner ever since. Her present » ' master is Captain Ruthe, but Captain Fisk, well known as master of the coastal steamer Aorere, will assume command of the vessel t. when she passes into the hands of her new owners, The Waverley is at_ present at Nelson receiving a most extensive overhaul under the superintendence of Captain Fisk. :: .The Patea Faxmers' Freezing Company intends to insulate the vessel for the carriage of, frozen meat to Wellington. _ Tho j .Waverley will run in conjunction with the Aorere in the Wellington-Patea service.
