An inter-island ferry built in 1966 which sank in a severe
hurricane in
wellington harbour on April 10. 1968, 51 people lost there lives, but miraculously 655 others onboard survived, the captain of that ship told a lot of bullshit about how the ship was going to be towed into port as it was only 5 minutes from its dock but it sank 7 hours later cos the tugs coming out to rescue it themselves almost
tipped over in 35 metre waves.
