[@ErnieBurt]

Thanks for the upload

[@lobomorunga1]

I rode on the final trip of the Tamahine, from Wellington to Picton, and back. She was a grand old little ship that always seemed to sail (?) with a list to the port side.

I worked in this ship as Electrician during 88 to 91 when it was named NAJD 2 and running between Port Blair and Chennai, Vizag and Kolkotta. Very fond memories....

victor lincoln did you take aramoana to deliver it to its new owner in 1984? My husband did he was chief electrician.

Was a Stewart on this Ship back in 1966,we would work 4 weeks on,with 1 week off,Great job in those days,

[@Oakleaf700]

As a child I sailed several times on a '`Sister ship'' by Dennys of Dumbarton...the Falaise ferry between England and France...that ship could roll...A tragic Sister was 'Princess Victoria'' involved in a dreadful disaster twixt Eire and Scotland. The open car deck 'guillotine'' doors were stoved in..dreadful tragedy. Poor Souls.

The Aramoana helped rescue quite a few people when the Wahine wrecked at Wellington in 1968. Just a few years later when Union suspended their service to Lyttelton, the Aramoana had to be rebuilt to accommodate the increased surge in traffic

Not a high-vis vest, ear protector, or hard hat is anywhere to be seen. Love it!!

[@johnrauner2515]

And how many people were killed or injured . . . . . none. Just shows what a bunch of twats we've become.

[@ENGLISH-u4w]

59 years later. its busy as now between Picton and Wellington.

[@Crintingnut]

I remember seeing the ship arrive from its delivery voyage. Hell, it doesn't seem that long ago. In our office, we nicknamed it the "Harry Moaner". Had some great trips on it, though!

[@bazza945]

I did a return day trip from Welly to Picton on TEV Aramoana/ZMRD in 1964.

[@OliverMoore1973]

We should get the Tamahine back.

[@nh6central]

Great vid! Sailing with the ramp door open is a bit scary ;

[@Oakleaf700]

See ''Princess Victoria'' [by same Shipbuilders] disaster Scotland Eire...a really preventable disaster. :(

[@beaka50]

fantastic details. I am planning to build a model of Aramoana for my model railway in 1/120th scale and it was great to see the Picton linkspan,etc. I grew up in Marlborough

[@andypreston1524]

Diesel-electric vessel. Four electric motors geared to twin screws driven by six 16-cylinder English Electric 16CSVM diesels.......Marine versions of the 16CSVT engines found in BR Class 40 and 50 locomotives.

[@K1W1fly]

and when Aratere is withdrawn, there be a massive leap backwards to the primitive days of separate rail systems...

[@SuperMakarne]

Hi Don’t worry, looks like there will be built two new train ferries.

[@jbrasco5000]

So when is delivery?....

[@MarkSeconi]

Um, coming in a bit quick at 2:27 ?

[@Otiraxo_]

That's how they get off otherwise its straight into the sea

[@MarkSeconi]

Thats them striking the wharf structure!

[@stevegibb6421]

[@benmac940]

20 wagons and 70 cars, sounds so small by modern standards.
