The Whanganui Riverboat Centre was officially opened in 1996. Situated at 1a Taupo Quay Wanganui, the former 1881 rowing club building had undergone an extensive restoration as it had been tasked with the important role of housing the PS Waimarie while the hull restoration took place.
What you are about to watch is a video that used to be played in the WRC museum to the visitors who had come to check on the progress of the paddle steamer project in the latter half of the 1990's. That is of course if the visitors weren't distracted by workmen busy rattling away with their loud rivet guns!
By the year 2000, Waimarie was operating back on the river and this video had obviously become outdated now that the vessels restoration project was complete. The VHS video had been played hundreds of times and had stretched and become grubby before it was put into storage.
This video is property of the 'Whanganui Riverboat Restoration & Navigation Trust' and permission was gained before being uploaded to YouTube.
All Aboard!

Happy Crowds & Busy Boats At Hipango Park 100th
(New Zealand) Hipango Park was gifted to the People of Whanganui on April 3 1913.
In this video, the Whanganui riverboat fleet and other smaller vessels are attending the centenary gathering. This was the first time that these three vessels: MV Wairua, MV Adventurer II & PS Waimarie had been moored alongside each other.
It was the first occasion that PS Waimarie and MV Wairua were at 'the park' together in over 60 years.
Speaking at the Hipango Jetty are; Whanganui Riverboat Centre Director Grant Collie, Wanganui Mayor Annette Main and Harete Hipango, the great granddaughter of Waata Hipango.
In the days before Facebook and Twitter, people used to actually meet together as a community at events such as social picnics.
Picnic outings on the riverboats were popular with all sorts of groups, ranging from workplace social clubs, schools and the church communities.
The boats used to take huge crowds on these outings to upriver destinations like farmer's riverside paddocks.
But the paddocks were not suitable for the growing demand. The farmers were increasingly becoming unhappy at the inconvieniences associated with hosting hundreds of people, who were unintentionally damaging fences and spooking the livestock.
Mr Waata Hipango came to the aid of the townsfolk looking for a formal picnic destination along the river valley. He oversaw the gifting of land, including an old Pa site, at the head of the Whanganui tidal reach about 17 miles upstream from Town Bridge.
Many photographs were taken at Hipango Park picnic gatherings from the busy 1910's through to 1950's.
In the 1960's & 70's riverboat visits to the park lessened, but the well known MV Waireka was still an occasional visitor.
In the 1980's & 90's the PW Otunui also ran an occasional Hipango Park excursion.
In the more recent era, the park has seen an increase of riverboat visits, especially from the MV Wairua (1903) which was recommisioned in 2006 and travels to the park frequently in the summer season.
PS Waimarie (1900) has visited Hipango Park about once every two years, since its recommisioning in 2000.
