The ship, otn mentioned, is probably the US counterpart to the Aurora
Australis.

Yeah, I see your USCG vessels come through here every couple years. Had
a good wander around 'Polar Star' a while back, probably couldn't do
that nowadays.

G Just needs the right ID.
The ship in OTN's post is a breakbulk freighter that runs supplies from US with
stops at Christchurch/Littleton and then returns with BG "trash".


6mm aluminium plate all seams fully welded to prevent water freezing
and breaking skip welds, twin 6 cyl diesels driving Hamilton jets.
About 6.5 tonnes each, they're nice toys.

Sounds like the same basic boat .... small bow ramp?
