Shipwrecks.

Mr. F. J. Halse, Wadestown, has in his possession a very interesting map of New Zealand, upon which he records the name of vessel, date of wreck, and locality of wreck occurring on the New Zealand coast. This map shows the earliest wreck records to the present day, and should at some time be lodged in the Turnbull Library.

An article, entitled “Posted Missing,” and compiled by Mr. M. Campbell for the “Evening Post,” 20th April, 1929, p. 10, page 471 deals with wrecks occurring between the years 1865 to 1895.

“Where lies the land to which the ships would go? Far, far ahead is all her seamen know And where the land she travels from? away, Far, far behind is all that they can say.”
