VIC 32 is
the last seagoing coal fired steam 'Clyde
Puffer'. She was built in 1943 and has
been well known for the last 30 years
on the West Coast of Scotland.
To keep the VIC 32 puffing gently through
the Crinan Canal and around the West Coast
we need your help.
During a visit to relatives in New Zealand
a Friend became a member of a restoration project
in Auckland.
The 'Toroa' is the last double ended Auckland
Harbour steam ferry, and is currently under restoration
with the aim of returning her to Auckland Harbour.
Newsletters were swapped and recently a brief
history of the VIC32 appeared in 'Toroa Tales'
the result was that within weeks two holidays
were booked by visitors coming from NZ.
