Description An original black and white photograph of Fairmile Q410 just after being launched at P Vos Ltd’s shipyard on 10 December 1942. Q410 was commissioned on 25 January 1943. The masts of the scow ECHO are in the background. In the centre is a starboard view of a small ship with a flag flying from a mast above the cabin that looks like the Union Jack. Another flag is hung at the bow which could be the New Zealand flag. Three men are standing at the bow, two are in uniform. There are several buildings in the background to the left. One has Waitemata Fisheries Ltd written on two sides. Above the ship’s cabin two masts are visible. On the reverse of the mount is a caption written in black pen by Jack Churchouse.
