Previously the brand new British ship Elginshire ran aground nearby in 1892 and was a total loss.

You no doubt recall this ship ran aground shortly after leaving Timaru on a voy to Dunedin. . She was near new at the time so maybe 1964/65. I wonder if there are any photos of that incident. I remember at the time seeing photos in the newspaper of the local fishing fleet retrieving bales of wool from the sea after being jettisoned to lighten the ship.
Tks for posting an excellent shot.
