It was a case of Auckland s loss being Whangārei s gain after a submersible vessel carrying luxury yachts from around the globe bypassed its usual dock and arrived at Northport this week.
The sighting of the 209m long vessel arriving on Tuesday caused much speculation on the Parua Bay/Whangārei Heads Community Facebook Page with some dubbing it the ship-shipping ship and another commenter suggesting it was bringing a replacement for Team USA.
