Kohi

---

The Kohi was built by G T Niccol in 1911 as Caed-Mile-Failte for Captain Somerville.

It was sold to the Biddick Family in 1914 and renamed Kohi.

The Kohi saw Overseas Service during WW2, and was used at one stage as a floating ice cream factory.

The Kohi was bought by Eckford and Co. of Blenhiem in 1945. In 1947 she was sold to Parry Bros for glass sand trade. By 1960 the Kohi was under Sullivan Shipping Company ownership. She made four trips to Kaiapoi in July 1963 for the Inter Island Shipping Co., relieving the Ranginui. Kohi sank at Picton not long afterwards. She was re-floated and after some months was towed to Nelson for inspection but condemned. She was subsequently dismantled and ended her days as a landing stage in the Westhaven Inlet.
