Description

The Wahine Disaster. ' Worst maritime disaster in New Zealand in over 70 years'. ' Pride of the Union Steam Ship Company's fleet wrecked with loss of 51 lives'. Those were the headlines on April 10th, 1968 when the steamer express 'Wahine' struck Barrett Reef while being battered by a storm of unprecedented ferocity. Badly holed, her engines out of action, she drifted helplessly to founder off the the western shore of Wellington Harbour. The miracle is that in such conditions, the toll was so light. Light general wear around the edges but the binding remains tight and pages bright.
