Vintage New Zealand Launches

This is a stunning collection of photographs of early powerboats and launches taken from the mid 1890s to the late 1920s by renowned maritime photographer Henry Winkelmann. Of his 600 recorded photographs of powerboats around 450 have survived and form part of the Auckland War Memorial Museum?s Winkelmann Collection. The wide range of images shows a variety of craft, some utterly obscure, some quite famous, from elegant launches and humble working boats to dashing early speedboats. All capture the essence of the boat, the place and the time.
