"Spirit Of Progress" under way, Lyttelton-bound, taken from the wharf
"Spirit Of Resolution" reflected in the water as she loads at berth D
"Spirit Of Vision" in the turning basin as she arrives from Nelson
A gorgeous shot of "Union Nelson" and "Fijian" alongside as the sun sets. This photo dates from the 1983-5 era.



This pic (right) was taken on or just after 26 June 1998, the day "Spirit Of Resolution" first arrived at Onehunga, and prior to "Spirit Of Progress"'s final departure from the Port two days later, 28 June.

When "SOR" turned up, she sported the name "Pasadena", which is clearly visible on the stern. Her initial hull colour of blue is also visible - check out the bow.

Many thanks to Gordon Walker for allowing me to use photos he originally posted on the Facebook page "Ship Spotters New Zealand".
