Are you a smart administrator with a heart for great customer service, looking for a part-time summer role? We might have just the thing, here in the Bay of Islands!
The R. Tucker Thompson is Northland’s very own tall ship; a traditional gaff-rigged top’sl schooner based in Ōpua and held in charitable trust.
