TSS Earnslaw & Kingston Flyer

[41767]

Twenty five years ago along with 3 Burrells I drove to Kingston on my Marshall to help celebrate the TSS Earnslaws 75 year anniversary. It seemed fitting to attend the 100 year celebrations. Two of us drove from Southland, a Garrett Wagon and 8Hp 2 speed Marshall were trucked up and 2 McLarens and 2 Burrells were transported from Canterbury. We were joined by a resident Queenstown Fowler. We assembled on the waterfront to greet the Earnslaw as she came back from re-enacting her maiden voyage fom Kingston. This was followed by a road run to Arrowtown and then on to Gibbston and return. The scenery is quite spectacular although the snow was a bit lower on the hills than normal for this time of the year.
