RELICS OF PAST DAYS
AN EIGHTY-YEAR-OLD WHALEBOAT. The gift to the Devonport Naval Base by the family of the late Mr John Mclntosh of Pukenui of a whaleboat at least eighty years old may serve as a reminder to members of the public that the Centennial offers a unique occasion for similar generosity. An appeal has already been made for ships' figureheads for the collection at the Naval Base, but without much result. Members of the public can be of the greatest help in making a success of the Centennial if they can bring themselves to give to the New Zealand people any old costumes or ship’s figureheads they may possess. A parallel appeal for original manuscript material to be lent or given to the National Historical Committee in furtherance of its work of completing, so far as ifhumanly possible, the historical records of New Zealand, has already met with a gratifying response and undoubtedly will met with more.
