Looking for any information on the Mawhera dredger its origin and its crew or photographs.
I think it may have been built in Renfrew, Scotland in about 1890 - 1900 ish, and that it was delivered to Australia manned or crewed by the craftsmen finishing her en route.
It may have been used as a gold dredger somewhere in "Australia"
Would anyone know if there is a crew listing for its passage from Scotland to Australia, or any suggestions where I might locate one. Any information would be most welcome.
