Got to be after the 1890’s, the Dredge Mawhera wasn’t built until 1908, and the top sail sailing ship could be the “Huia”, when it was the explosive ship from Melbourne.

Forget its name but in the very early 1950's I went over the Grey bar in that dredge quite a few times. In those days it was a big thrill for us kids. Hahaha, imagine even trying to do that today ??????? Health and Safety wouldn't let you near the bloody wharf, let alone on the dredge, bloody fun police have destroyed ANYTHING that looks like fun. WA ......KERS.
