PS Waimarie
The PS ''Waimarie'' (known as Waimarie Paddle Steamer) is a historic riverboat based on the Whanganui River in New Zealand. ==History== This paddle steamer was built as a kitset by Yarrow & Co in London in 1899. Assembled at Wanganui, and named PS ''Aotea'', she began service with the Wanganui Settlers River Steamship Co.〔 In 1892 Alexander Hatrick was contracted by Thomas Cook to carry tourists to Pipiriki on the paddle-steamer; the journey was "The Rhine of Maoriland" tourist route into the interior of New Zealand. Hatrick's company purchased the ''Aotea'' in 1902 and she was renamed ''Waimarie'', which means ''peaceful waters'' in Māori. The ''Waimarie'' operated a regular service between Wanganui and Pipiriki, carrying cargo, mail and passengers. The opening of the Whanganui River Road in 1935 reduced the demand for river transport, and the ''Waimarie'', needing her boiler replaced, ceased running in 1949. In 1952, she sank at her moorings in Wanganui.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Funding crisis could sink Waimarie )〕
