i love this video my kids keep bringing it up & there is a photo in the waterloo hotel welligton behind the bar which i admire everytime i go in....its a lovely piece of history.
i worked on that ship the suilven in port. it was waitangi day about 2002? been a while now. and the weather was beautiful & fine clear blue sky until it got out into heads. all passengers were warned before hand that it was going to be a rough sailing, they could get of if they wanted but nobody did....so they must of like the sailing i guess. i still work for strait shipping that owned the boat. i also have photos of this sailing as well.
What do you know?
