SYDNEY shipbuilders are busy on new vessels for Islands’ owners. At Mr.
Lars Halvorsen’s yards, Neutral Bay, two are on the stocks and will soon take the water.
One of these vessels is a 30ft. launch with auxiliary sails. She will be shipped by the “Mataram” to her owners, Messrs.
Burns, Philp, in the Solomon Islands, on February 18. The other vessel is a 41 ft. ketch for the Seventh Day Adventist Mission. When completed she will go into service in Papuan waters.
