Anderson Collection
This collection belonged to Grahame Anderson, author of the book "Fast light boats". He himself was a champion sailor, and among his accomplishments was winning the Moffat Cup in 1955 crewing on Barney Scully's Windhover III.
The photos are all of the Idle Along class in Wellington, from the 1930s through to the 1960s, and many appear to have once belonged to Alf Harvey, who designed the class in 1926. Possibly Grahame had borrowed them from his family during his research.
These photos are shared with us by his son Owen Anderson.
