I wouldn't mind betting the little vessel you can just see berthed astern of the Canopic, is a Richardson coaster, "Parera" or "Pukeko" they always parked ther.

After blowing up the photo Eastern Star I think can be clearly read off the bow.

This photo was taken in Auckland about the 1960's I reckon. The port was a good place to be for a young seaman, very busy and vibrant with plenty of jobs to be had.

Shaw Savill, NZ Shipping, Blue Star, a couple of old Union Company 'slow greens' tied up at the end of Bledisloe and Kings wharves, and there in the top right hand corner is the old "Viti", she seamed to be laid up there forever, walked past her many times.
Thanks for the memories Gordy.
