Shipping Wonders of the World, 1937: “Painting the funnel of a ship is a simple routine item of maintenance, but may cost as much as £250 a year. This photograph shows men at work in the Ruahine. This twin-screw vessel has a length of 480ft 7in, a breadth of 60ft 4in and a depth of 41ft 1in.”
Shipping Wonders of the World, 1937: “Loading cargo into or discharging from a hatch by the ship’s derricks or shore cranes is an operation which takes place at nearly every port of call. Each call involves heavy expenditure, such as the dues payable for use of cranes, tolls on goods handled in and out, and charges for mooring, pilotage and tug service. The ship illustrated is the Ruahine, of 10,870 tons gross. She belongs to the New Zealand Shipping Company.
