Rapaki steam crane
The "Rapaki" steam crane was a historic boat in New Zealand. On 24 December 1925 the Lyttelton Harbour Board ordered an 80-ton self-propelled floating crane, called "Rapaki". She was named after the settlement close to Lyttelton of the same name. She was built at a cost of £42,000. The "Rapaki" took 109 days to sail from Greenock to Lyttelton, arriving on 28 July 1926. "Rapaki" was one of two steam cranes in New Zealand waters, the other being the "Hikitia" which as of 2021 can still be visited on the Wellington Waterfront. "Rapaki" operated  in Lyttelton for 60 years. During World War 2 "Rapaki" was requisitioned for war work in the Pacific. It had been intended that she go to the Middle East but after Japan joined the war this plan was cancelled. At the end of her working life "Rapaki" was transported to Auckland and became an exhibit at the Maritime Museum on Auckland's waterfront. In December 2018, the "Rapaki" was towed to Wynyard Wharf to be broken up. Some of its parts were given to the "Hikitia".
