Same here Tony, I think I first saw the Ngakuta 1962 there abouts, was told by the crowd they rolled like something never before experienced lol

A very nice photo Gordy.
I remember when her predecessors the Ngakuta and Ngatoro first appeared on the NZ coast, a big change in design from the traditional USSCo. vessels.
At the time I thought they looked pretty radical, having no derricks and all.
Regards Tony.

This photo should be in category: 'Ship's running astern'.
Also notice the smoke from the funnel smoking towards forward of the ship.
Everything on this photo is exciting, and I like the photo and the ship's superstructure very-very much!

I jumped ship in Whangerei in 1980 and was about to be deported when USSCo came to my rescue and orgainsed a 3 month work visa and put me on a bus to Tauranga, where I joined NGAHERE my first NZ ship, fully loaded but no third mate. They were called 'slow greens' for good reason - I can recall one watch backwards going through Bass Strait in heavy weather.
