Sorry about the quality of the picture. My scanner is not working and this is a photo of a photo. The album with the original image has been water damaged. I put the photo up because there was no record of 'Tangaroa'.

When scrapped in 1984 her bridge accommodation was saved and lived on as bridge on the landing craft/lighter TASMAN.

This photo looks like it was taken from inside a car through the windscreen, the image of the photographer camera and hand with the finger on the button can be seen.......was it raining? the smears on the windscreen could be the cause of rain drops?
