Anchor Shipping and Foundry Company

The Anchor Shipping and Foundry Company linked Nelson with other parts of New Zealand from 1870 to March 1982, when Titoki was sold. The company's former office remains on the quay at Nelson, as do steps of their foundry, which built one of their ships, repaired their fleet and made other machinery.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
