The yellowtail snapper is an abundant species of snapper native to the western Atlantic Ocean including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Although they have been found as far north as Massachusetts, their normal range is along Florida south to the West Indies and Brazil; this species is found around coral reefs, but may be found in other habitats. They occur at depths of from near the surface to 180 metres, though between 10 and 70 m; this species can reach a length of 86.3 cm. The greatest weight recorded for this species is 4.1 kg. It has been farmed, it is sought as a game fish by recreational anglers and is a popular species for display in public aquaria. This species is the only known member of its genus. In certain reefs, most notably in the Florida Keys, this beautifully colored fish is spotted among divers and snorkelers. Yellowtails feed on shrimp, crabs and smaller fish, they spawn in groups off the edges of reefs from spring to fall, but in midsummer. Yellowtail snapper are caught in 30–120 ft of water on and around reefs and other structure.
The most common method of catching them is with hook and line, the use of frozen chum leftover ground fish parts, to attract the fish. The chum is placed into a mesh bag or metal basket in the water, as the chum melts, small pieces of fish drift out and down towards the bottom, where the yellowtails feed; the chum keeps them near the boat for extended periods of time, as well. Light tackle is the accepted means of catching yellowtail snapper; the fish are wary of higher-test or thicker line, larger hooks. Most fish caught by anglers range from eight to 14 in. Yellowtail snapper can be caught on a variety of baits, including both live and frozen shrimp, a variety of live and frozen minnows or smaller baitfish. Yellowtail tend to be wary fish, the appearance of larger predators, such as dolphins or sharks, can scare off schools until the predator leaves the area. Most anglers pursue yellowtail snapper during the warmer months, but they can be caught throughout the year. Yellowtail snapper is prized for its light, flaky meat and is considered by some to be one of the best of the snapper family.

The Gentle Annie Tramway or Gisborne Borough Council’s Gentle Annie Metal Supply Tramway was a narrow gauge railway which ran from Gisborne, New Zealand to the Gentle Annie quarry, a distance of 19.3 km. The tramway was built in 1911 by the Gisborne Borough Council to transport road metal to the Council depot in downtown Gisborne; the track followed alongside the local roads. The tramway closed in 1916 and all equipment was sold to Moutohora Stone Quarries, which had a short tramway from a nearby quarry to the Moutohora Branch terminus; the tramway operated two W. G. Bagnall locomotives. "Jack", was works No. 1879 of 1911. It was 0-4-0ST, but was modified with a trailing axle and tender to be a 0-4-2.
