The Mairangi Bay: Who Knew?




Mairangi Bay is the name of the burb in Auckland where I live.
On a good day, it's a super place to live, to walk or to sit and look out at Rangitoto and be thankful I wasn't here when last she erupted.



I didn't know it was also the name of a container ship launched in 1978 and scrapped in 2002.



The ship was one of two identical sisters built by Bremer Vulkan shipyard in West Germany and owned by Overseas Containers Limited, the other being the MV Resolution Bay.
