Page 5: The Wahine Disaster

The Wahine hit Barretts reef and was caught by some massive waves that caused it to tip over.

There were 100 knot winds and high seas.

51 people lost their lives.

The Wahine sunk in minutes as huge winds from a cyclone tore her apart.

Cyclone Giselle was far to the north. Cyclone Giselle came from another storm over the west coast from the antarctic. Then together they headed south.
