''Muriel'' was a New Zealand trawler that was built in 1907 by Messrs Lane & Sons of Totara North. The ''Muriel'', No.121,590, was a wooden, screw steamer of 59 tons gross and 22 tons net register. Her dimensions were: length 64.7 feet, beam 16.2 feet, depth 8 feet. Her engines were of 18 H.P. The ''Muriel'' was owned by P Feron & Sons and commanded by Captain William Stephen, who had been master of the vessel since 1929. In 1937 ''Muriel'' stranded on Sumner Bar Christchurch and was a total loss. ==Newspaper articles== The below article was published in 1907 during the construction of the Muriel: '' ''Mr. Dolbel, of Napier, owner of the trawler Result, .is to take delivery of another trawler from Messrs Lane and of Whangaroa, at an early date. The new trawler, which is a wooden vessel, is to be named the Muriel. Her principal dimensions are : Length over all, 70 ft ; beam, 16 ft ; and depth of hold, 8 ft. Her equipment will be a facs'milo type of the Noia Niven, with cold storage, and the gear inseparable from a trawler. The vessel is fitted with two pole masts, and has a small cabin aft.' *In the ''Evening Post'', Wellington on 24 July 1911 page 2: ''A strong effort is being made to develop the trawling industry at Lyttelton (states the Christchurch Press). On Friday afternoon the steamer trawler Result arrived in the port, after a smart run of fifty-one hours from Napier. Her arrival brings the number of vessels engaged in the trawling industry at Lyttelton up to five, the fleet now comprising the Muriel, Result, Purau, Mullogh, and Pilot. The fishing grounds are off Banks Peninsula, outside of a line drawn from Port Levy rocks to Long Look Out Point, and also to the northward of Lyttelton Heads. During the winter months fish are not very plentiful, but some fairly good hauls are made even made at this part of the year. In the summer months the trawlers get some large hauls of flat fish. The financial results are not always as good as the demand for fish in Christchurch seems to warrant. The market fluctuates very considerably, and one best flat fish at times bring very poor prices.'' ''Grey River Argus'', 2 November 1910, Page 1: ''YOUNG MAN DROWNED. (By : Telegraph — Per Press Association) NAPIER, Oct- 31. John William Dephoff, a single man aged 31 years, employed on the trawler Muriel, fell overboard yesterday and was drowned. The body was recovered later. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trawler Muriel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
