From cover blurb:" In April 1968 the N.Z. interisland passenger ferry Wahine, a fast and modern ship for its time, hit Barrett Reef at the entrance to Wellington Harbour in a cyclone. Six and a half hours later the ship heeled over and sank, with the eventual loss of fifty-three lives. Among the 610 passengers and 125 crew was the Lincoln College cricket team." Peter Jerram was one of that team and from a survivor's perspective tells a powerful account of N.Z.s worst modern maritime disaster.Book as new. Colour and b/w photos and maps throughout.
