The Wanganui River was one of NZ's most notable tourism attractions, with paddle-wheel steamers taking passengers on three-day trips with over-night accommodation provided cruise in either a river side guest house or on a specially designed floating houseboat. Recalls the exciting days when the old paddle steamers plied their way up the 239 named rapids between Wanganui and Taumarunui. David Reid was an engineer on boats of the famous Hatrick Fleet. Alec Reid has made a vivid story of his uncle's recollections.
