This site was
prompted by the initiative and format of the International Register
of Historic Ships by Norman Brouwer published by Chatham Publishing
and the activity
World Ship
Trust
It is believed that a New Zealand Historic Ships database modeled along
the lines begun by Norman Brouwer will assist historic ship and
boat owners in New Zealand and overseas, and researchers in their effort
to research, maintain and restore vessels. Sharing of information
on type of vessel, materials, histories, locations and related news
will assist their cause.
This site is maintained by the Maritime
Archaeological Association of New Zealand (MAANZ) and has been made possible by the enthusiasm of a student
group from Victoria University in Wellington. MAANZ also acknowledges the support of the Museum of Wellington City
and Sea for providing the initial hosting of this site until other
resources became available.
Provision of
the data and forms for the initial 35 vessels is gratefully acknowledged
to John Ackrill
Updating will
be done by MAANZ, and links are encouraged
to other relevant sites. Please email malcolm.mcgregor@paradise.net.nz
with any corrections or suggestions.
