Orion WT28

Lying Wellington, October 1973

Chris Rabey looked out this photograph, taken by him: "John Burns from Napier sent me your address, and seeing you have just bought the Orion, I am sending a pic of her when she was a commercial fishing boat. This is a shot I took of her in Wellington, October 1973. She was Westport registered at the time, WT28. She had a mast forward but this had been removed for maintenance at the time. She was quite distinctive in that she had a large Roadrunner bird painted on the bows."
