SS Puke
Your opportunity to see SS Puke at the Historical Maritime Park Steam Up Easter weekend.
HMP recognises the support of New Zealand Maritime Museum.
SS Puke
In 1993 a major rebuild was carried out by the Boat Yard at Hobson Wharf. She was purchased by the Union Steam Ship Company in 1989 and then donated to the New Zealand Maritime Museum.
SS PUKE can be seen steaming around the Viaduct Harbour on selected weekend trips as part of the Museum’s heritage fleet. She is available for charter for special occasions and has attended many wedding parties as a memorable alternative to modern transport.
