Auckland is one of the few cities to have have an operational heritage coal- fired steam tug on its harbour but its future is on troubled waters.
The 'William C Daldy' is a popular attraction with the public at her berth on Devonport's Victoria Wharf.
However, covid, rising coal prices, retiring crew and repair costs have added to the mounting challenge of keeping the tug afloat for her centenary in 2035.
William C Daldy Preservation Society Committee member John Pratt talks to Jesse.
