A historic riverboat is set to sail down the Whanganui river once more, after 25 years away. The M.V. Waireka was built especially for New Zealand waters in early 1900s Scotland. Part of a fleet of 12, only four vessels remain. Volunteer project lead Steve McClune is fixing her up, and knows the secrets of this rare riverboat.
