MAIDEN VOYAGE
MOTOR SHIP HAPARANGI NEW NAME IN DOMINION SHIPPING Daily Times Special Service AUCKLAND, Oct. 19. Bringing a new name to add to the almost traditional series of names given to vessels of the New Zealand Shipping Company, the 11,000-ton motor ship Haparangi will arrive at Auckland from Liverpool, via Panama, tomorrow on her maiden voyage. The Haparangi is a sister ship to the Norfolk, of the associated Federal Line, which is now at Auckland on her second voyage, and both ships were built in the Clydebank shipyards. There has been no previous Haparangi either in the company’s fleet or among the sailing ships trading from Britain in the last century. The only geographical connection listed in a New Zealand authority is Haparangi Mountain, nine miles south of Rotorua. The new freighter is commanded by Captain C. R. Pilcher, 0.8. E.
