Biography
So...a dragon based on a ferry. Still a boat dragon (i have too many of these)
Honestly my most obsure dragon yet. A dragon based on a ferry that my local public transport runs.
I havent even been on it.....I just like it .-.
It may also be retired now but Im in denial I'll never get to go on it
*This dragon honks*
George Hudson, and his son, Douglas, conceived an idea for an improved ferry operator to replace the neglected Auckland ferry services during a sailing trip on Waitemata Harbour in 1981. By the end of that year, the Hudson family acquired North Shore Ferries, another ferry company in Auckland and renaming it the Gulf Ferries Company . However, the difficulties and hardships of rejuvenating a failing fleet became apparent almost immediately, as within six weeks of the takeover, every vessel was out of service, except for the Glen Rosa, a small Launch (boat).
The transition to a modern operation began in 1987 with the arrival of the Quickcat, Gulf Ferries first catamaran. Creating a faster, more efficient ferry service to Waiheke Island and other destinations. This was continued with the Kea being introduced in 1988 to operate the Auckland City to Devonport service. For the tourism services, two new catamaran ferries, Adventurer and Wanderer, were purchased in 2006 and 2007 for NZ$3 million and NZ$2 million respectively. These vessels will also assist on the company's main ferry routes during peak hours.
In 1988, South Pacific Travel Holdings Ltd became shareholders before the publicly listed Fullers Corporation Ltd went into receivership. Recognising the value of the "Fullers" brand, the company amalgamated its operations and changed its name to Fullers Group Limited. Stagecoach New Zealand became the major shareholder of Fullers Group Limited but kept George Hudson as chairman until 2007 where his son, Douglas Hudson became the CEO until 2017 when Mike Horne took over the position. In 2009, Brian Souter acquired the company as well as another ferry company, 360 Discovery Limited. Both are now part of the InMotion Group.
In 2018 Fullers and 360 Discovery decided to merge brands to become a more cohesive and consumer friendly ferry operator creating Fullers360.
