On a recent trip down the coast I came across this lot of Halvorsen boat parts.

To cut a long story short, basically the guy who I brought the items from had plans to restore an old Halvorsen boat that use to run around Sydney harbour in the 1950’s/1960’s. One thing lead to another and eventually the project got scrapped, leaving these pieces behind.

The parts include 2 bronze propellers attached to solid stainless steel drive shafts approximately 2 meters long, 2 bronze rudder posts, 1 helm (steering wheel) and 2 filler necks/caps.

All look to be in good condition for their age along with having a great patina (geez I sound like Rick from Pawn Stars LOL).

It would be a shame to see these usable parts sold for scrap, so hopefully within the next few months when I start to advertise them (being quite a specialist lot of items)  I’ll be able to find suitable homes for the parts!

Thinking outside of the square a little too I’d imagine they would great interior design pieces, perhaps for a nautical themed home/pub/bar/restaurant!
