Baroona

Scuttlefish: The Baroona was a fine boat but she wasn't a Fairmile, which were military launches of WWII. cf David Balderston "The Waiheke Ferries of Auckland"

The Baroona ferry plied the Waiheke run through the 1930s until she was laid up with an engine failure in 1965. She did return to the Waiheke service for a time but was later replaced by larger ferries able to handle the increase in passengers to the island. The Baroona went on to serve on the Devonport run for many years.

The Baroona was built in Australia in 1904. She served variously as a coastal cargo ship, an inter-island trader in Samoa and a deep-water trawler for Sanfords before serving Waiheke as a ferry. She is now on dry land, converted to a themed pirate restaurant.

We have our own brewery and if you're very nice to us we may share.

Thus begins the introduction to Waiheke Island's most dedicated theatre troupe and the only ones with enough chutzpah to tackle Shakespeare.
