Remember this visit!

Les Bryce
I was there somewhere

Robert Mathewson
Can remember it almost hit the Blaketown tip head.

Barbara Fitzsimmons
Everyone else got to go see it .not me .I got to peel the spuds for mum .and polish my brothers shoes

Theresa Gibson
Greymouth must have been an exciting town when the wharf was situated here.

Sue Maree Aitken
I remember there was an accident and a visitor fell from the gangplank and drowned??

Geoffrey King
Sue Maree Aitken Well that will be in the archives at the GM Evening Star if it happened.

Sue Maree Aitken
Geoffrey King oh yes, it happened. There’d been a bit of a party aboard and he was none too steady on his feet when leaving. No one missed him and he’d hit his head on his way down. Sad

Geoffrey King
Well perhaps someone cd look up the paper archives and re[port back.

Terry Harding
And these days the powers that be are too scared to bring an Inshore Patrol Boat into Greymouth. I'm not sure when one visited Wesport last either.Paul Jan Maguiness
1958?

Arthur Bass
All your comments about the person drowning. It was off a Fisheries Patrol vessel years later. Neville CHRISTIE had taken his Wife and Boys down for a look.

Sue Maree Aitken
Arthur Bass thank you..so sorry my memory failed me. Really thought it was fact

Arthur Bass
Sue Maree Aitken no sweat. We all have those moments sometimes.

Martin Griffin
Recall those visits well.
Good for a young lads imagination

Gary Rauhihi
Remember the visits from the navy well

Rhonda Glasson
Wow

Steve FitzGerald
Even as late as the sixties Greymouth still had loads of character

Trevor Wylde
Remember stopping off Greymouth on HMNZS Royalist 1957 as we were too big to come in and a small boat brought some dignitaries out. Being my hometown I would have liked to have gone ashore. The town would have benefited as we had 525 crew on board- the Pukaki only had 130

Chris Sinnott
I was on HMNZS Taupo when we came alongside around 1975.

Robin Gibbens
Dick Bishop believe the photo is September October 1956 as he was on board, background cars look more 50s than mis 60s. Great to get a date and a year right for the history books.Robin Gibbens
