SeapixOnlineDisplaying 9161 of 11052 TE HAURAKI passes the 1976-built HAMAL as she makes her way back to port following the 2013 tug race. Built in 1920 at the old Auckland Harbour Board workshops, TE HAURAKI's career with the AHB spanned some 50+ years until she was retired in the 1970's. During her time on Auckland's Waitemata Harbour she was one of the most powerful towing launches. After her retirement she was locked away in a farm shed for thirty years and hence sails today in her original condition without any modifications. She is powered by a 190hp 6 cylinder Cummins diesel engine.
