HMNZS WAIKATO

Frank Rands

Did you serve in HMNZS WAIKATO?

In 1999 the HMNZS Waikato Association loaned, to the then Wellington Maritime Museum, a painting of the sailing ship ‘Waikato’. This was meant to be returned but for whatever reason was not.  It is thought the painting may have hung in the Junior Rates Dining Hall on Waikato.

The Museum now wishes to return the painting to either the Association or the original owner.   Does the Waikato Association still exist?  If anyone can shed some light on this please leave a comment to this post.
