This attractive magnet that measures 8.7cm x 4.9cm has been lovingly created with a photo that I took on a crisp spring morning last September!

It features the Riverton 'Dolphin', the Compass Dolphin near the Riverton Bridge that the ship's used to 'box' their compasses when they became influenced due to the iron on the ship.

When a ship was moored to the 'Dolphin', compass bearings were taken off landmarks or trees. The ship would be moved around and these readings would be written down. A total of eight bearings would be taken at regular intervals and these would be averaged producing the correct magnetic bearing.

Also listed are postcards of this pretty photo plus a ceramic coffee mug that I have had printed with this image for those of you keen on some Riverton nostalgia when sipping your coffee!

Keep an eye out for the small tote bag I have had printed with this image too. I will see what interest there is in this before considering having more printed.

Other items that you may be interested in are postcards of a sunset over the Riverton township plus some small fridge magnets and pens of the same image.

Any comments and questions are very welcome!

I can deliver to Riverton and Invercargill. Collection is from Riverton.

Over the coming months I will be listing some new and also some vintage and shabby chic goodies to pass on to new owners.

Please do pop in again and thank you for looking!
