Lot Details

Alison's name will always be known in Auckland as that of the founder of the Devonport Steam Ferry Company Limited. With his brother he was instrumental in floating the company in August 1881 and they soon had a regular (6d. return) service operating in place of the somewhat mixed and unreliable concerns of the 1870s. It was fitting that in 1951 the Devonport Steam Ferry Company renamed its largest vehicular ferries after the Alison brothers
