Thomas Reeves, who built the Edwin Fox, is my Gt-gt-gt-gt grandfather. I wonder, is it possible to have access to view the vessel. Incredibly, I now live in Canterbury, NZ!

Many thanks

hi
as a young boy i used to play and fish of this beautiful old ship.
it moved on the high spring tides when the tamahine and the rangatira cruised in and out of the harbour on their runs.
also watching her being refloated in the 60s from the freezing works and towed to shakespear bay on the western side. sadly deteriating
at that point they should have started to restore the famous ship.
as all the masts ,booms was cut down and burned up in the old boiler
house at the works..typical tight arse nz government wont help you!!
i spent some time on the old james craig when it first came to sydney.
