The R. Tucker Thompson is exhibiting at the Mangawhai Museum from 13 October until March 2024.
The ship was built in Mangawahi and the exhibition tells the inspiring story of how a small township got behind the dream of a few determined people, Robert Tucker Thompson, Tod Thompson, Greta Simmonds and Russell Harris. The ship was built on the shores of the Mangawhai estuary and launched off the beach on 12 October 1985.
The exhibition includes a model miniature version of the ship as the centerpiece, and uses a mixture of media including film, audio, images, interactive elements to tell the inspiring R. Tucker Thompson story.
Come and view this wondrous exhibition of building a ship, building a community and building a dream.
Interested in holding your own event on the Tucker? You can charter the ship!
