Ship Nearly Repaired
Shipwrights at Messrs Stark Brothers’ shipyard at Lyttelton have almost repaired the damaged wooden hull of the trawler Picton, which, when a wooden cradle bearer at the Lyttelton patent slip collapsed- during the slipping of the trawler a fortnight ago, had her hull pierced and fractured amidships, on either side of the keel. At the time it was only intended to give her a brief underwater cleaning and checking but after the mishap. her master (Captain A. S. Aberdein) said she might easily be some weeks undergoing repairs. The 150-ton Picton which Is owned by the Picton Fishing Company has been recently crayfishing in the Chathams and it is expected that she will be ready to return there before next week-end. **-
