The boat on the right is the Waimarie (pronounced why-mar-ee-a) and is the only working paddle steamer on the Whanganui River. I have it on good authority that the other paddle steamer is the Wairua. Click here for the Waimarie story. Click here for info on the Wairua.

What a great image! I like that you've processed it in B&W, which gives it a lovely vintage quality.
