REWA SOLD
WILL BE USED AS BREAKWATER IN THE GULF LAST OF FAMOUS BOAT The Rewa, once a Tamous sailing vesel, is to be used as a breakwater on one of the islands in the Hauraki Gulf. She has been sold by the firm of George H. Scales, Limited, to Mr. Charles Hensen. and within a few days, when the tides and weather are favourable, she will be removed from her present moorings in the upper harbour. Thus passes the largest of the sailing vessels afloat today and one of the most famous of her time. For some years past the Rewa has been moored in the upper harbour, but her plates have been eaten away with rust to such an extent that there was a danger of her sinking and becoming a menace to shipping. During the past few weeks certain parts of the rigging and spars have been stripped from the vessel, but the masts will be left on her when she goes to her last resting-place. She is not to be completely stripped as has been recorded on several occasions.
