Hi team, my dad was a master on this ship whilst it sailed cargo and people to and from Auckland to Coromandel. Does anyone know where she is today's? We have the 250th Annerversary of Coromandel coming up and to find her would be a dream for the town.

You may be right, could belong to a vessel on the opposite wharf.

I don't think the Rangitira had Samson post's aft Gordy, just a mainmast.
