The White Swan Incident - Mike Warman
NZ$19.00
On 29 June 1862 - 140 years ago - the SS White Swan was holed by a rock while steaming down the North Island coast between Napier and Wellington. A number of New Zealand's leading politicians and civil servants were among the passengers. A heavy loss of life would have been calamitous for the government and the administration of the colony. Miraculously, Captain Allen Harper managed to find the one safe spot on a notoriously rugged coastline to run the ship ashore on Waiorongo Beach, at Uriti Point on the Wairarapa coast.
