Book: Boats of the Bay - 100 Years of the Ferries and Tourist Boats of the Bay of Islands By: Greg Philpott Soft cover, 372pp, 2025
Boats of the Bay covers the early 1900s to 2025, and is all about the tourist boats, ferries and work boats that have operated in the BOI for over 100 years. Originally, the only way to get around the region was by boat, so the subsequent passenger launches, workboats and ferries were the lifeblood of the Bay of Islands.
In his book, Greg documents each boat's story, including the build, original service, their time in the Bay of Islands, and their life after.
The perfect book for those who were part of this history, as well as anyone interested in the seafaring history of New Zealand.
