New Zealand Shipping Vessels
You are on The History of New Zealand Shipping domain.
My
sincere thanks to Peter J Bennett (bypasspete"at"ntlworld.com)
for his time in putting this table of
contents together. Jeffrey Shaw
To satisfy our readers we have decided
to set up a comprehensive guide
to the Ships of New Zealand Shipping and Federal Steam Navigation.
This is a FREE service maintained by New Zealand Shipping for information and education purposes.
You can submit details at end of this page.
In fact due to work
load, I would ask if someone can update this vessel page and once
completed send an email in word or excel and i will put it up and give
you the credit for doing the update. Jeffrey
