Osborn collection
This collection is shared with us by Jan and Bryan Johnson. Jan is a descendant of the Osborn brothers who had a share in the Isca from 1890 to 1897, when she was broken up.
They also owned the open centreboarder Dream, which was the 5th boat registered with the Port Nicholson Yacht Club when it was formed in 1883
