The Tui. Photo: RNZ / Peter de Graaf A historic ship is on fire by the Waitangi Bridge in Paihia. The Tui is a three-masted sailing ship that has been a feature of the Waitangi waterfront since the late Kelly Tarlton bought the historic vessel and used it to house his finds from a lifetime of exploring shipwrecks. Four fire crews are fighting the blaze after Fire and Emergency received multiple calls about it after 4am. "The timber ship is fully on fire and is already significantly damaged." No one was on board the ship overnight. "The fire is generating some smoke around Paihia and Waitangi and people are advised to avoid the area and keep windows shut," Fire and Emergency says. It was not yet known how the fire started.
