About

Come join us aboard the SS Eliza Hobson 30ft steamboat for a trip down the Kerikeri Inlet and experience the ambience of those bygone years.

The Northern Steamship Company was established in 1881 by Captain McGregor and several other steamship owners. Over the period of 100 years the company owned in excess of 120 steamships serving most ports of the North Island. Steam vessels of our yesteryear had no electronic plotters or radar equipment, so skippers relied on the well known dog bark to guide their ships into fog-bound estuaries.
