Скачать или смотреть PS Waimarie "Queen Of The River" (1996)

#PSWaimarie #WhanganuiRiver #PaddleSteamer
The Whanganui Riverboat Centre was officially opened in 1996. Situated at 1a Taupo Quay Whanganui, New Zealand, the former 1881 rowing club building had undergone an extensive restoration as it had been tasked with the important role of housing the PS Waimarie while the hull restoration took place.

What you are about to watch is a video that used to be played in the WRC museum to the visitors who had come to check on the progress of the paddle steamer project in the latter half of the 1990's. That is of course if the visitors weren't distracted by workmen busy rattling away with their loud rivet guns!

By the year 2000, Waimarie was operating back on the river and this video had obviously become outdated now that the vessels restoration project was complete. The VHS video had been played hundreds of times and had stretched and become grubby before it was put into storage.
