(N.Z.E.F. Official War Correspondent) Solomons, June 26
... An oil portrait of a bearded New Zealand sailor by L.A.C. R. H. Charters, of New Plymouth, gained much favourable comment. Charters has done his first painting in the Solomons, and shows marked promise. He is a photographer in civil life.

 The s. s. Wootton at Kaiapoi photographed by Isaac Nickles Eagle

The new steamer Wootton, which was recently purchased in Sydney by Captain S. Willis, for the newly formed Kaiapoi Steam Navigation Company, arrived [at the Port of Lyttelton] on Sunday morning, and anchored in the stream at 11.40 a.m. After inspection by the Port Health the vessel came in to a berth at the Gladstone pier in the afternoon. Captain J. Rennie, formerly of the schooner Falcon, who is in command, reports reports that the Wootton left Sydney at 6 p.m. on Friday, 13th inst., and had a fine run across to Cape Farewell, which was passed at 11 a.m. on Friday last. Strong northerly winds were experienced thence to Cape Campbell, which was abeam at 2 p.m. on Saturday. At 6 o'clock on Sunday morning a strong southerly gale was met with which lasted until arrival.

Captain Rennie states that the vessel steamed well, and proved herself good sea boat. The vessel left Sydney with about 120 tons of coal on board, which was used as bunker coal.

The Wootton is a neat looking wooden ketch-rigged steamer, and, is very similar in appearance to the Defender and the Baden Powell. She is of 151 tons gross and 90 tons net register, her dimensions being:— Length, 109 feet; beam, 24 feet; depth of hold, 7.4 feet. She was built in 1900 by Mr H. Miles, of Cape Hawke, New South Wales, and was owned up till recently by Mr A. Taylor, of Sydney, from whom she was purchased on account of the Kaiapoi Shipping and Trading Company. 
 
The vessel is fitted with compound engines of 33 R.H.P., built by Chapman and Co of Sydney. Comfortable quarters for the officers and crew are provided, while the vessel is fitted with, electric light and appliances for the quick handling of cargo. The vessel received a thorough overhaul before leaving Sydney. She will carry 150 tons of cargo on a draught of 7 feet, and should prove herself a suitable vessel for the Kaiapoi river trade, in which she will be employed by her new owners. The Wootton sailed yesterday afternoon for Kaiapoi.

...The last vessel to trade up the river was the Wootton, on May 9, 1924.

After many years of active service on the New Zealand coast, the s.s. Wootton was towed by a launch to Diamond Harbour on Saturday morning. She has purchased by Mr Rhind to serve as a house boat there.

On February 16th, 1929, the Naval Reserve commenced a course of training on the S.S. Wootton anchored in Rapaki Bay. On June 24th, 1931, a severe gale drove the S.S. Wootton ashore alongside the jetty. Both were severely damaged, and the vessel ever since has done duty as a houseboat.
