Alexander Hatrick and The Paddle Steamer Waimarie
Peter Hardy has an odd uniform - a full Edwardian costume which he dons daily to impersonate Alexander Hatrick, who amongst other pursuits owned a fleet of boats on the Whanganui River and was mayor for a stint. Amelia Nurse joins him aboard NZ's only paddle steamer, the fully restored Waimarie, to find out more about the boat, and the man.
