The “Louis Couppe”, the biggest ship to be built in New Guinea since the war, was launched at Kokopo, New Britain, early in August.
The 90 ft ship belongs to the Catholic Mission, and will service Catholic missions along the New Britain coast, and will carry timber from the mission sawmill at Ulamona. The “Louis Couppe”, named after NG’s first Catholic bishop, was blessed by the Bishop of Rabaul, the Most Rev. J. Hoehen, and was launched by Mrs. J. Foldi, wife of the District Commissioner.
