Survivors of the Wahine disaster
What do you know?
I was on the Wahine with my family. Six of us survived. Thanks to Rob Ewan who saved me from rough sea. I was so grateful and happy to meet Rob 50 years afterwards at Willington during 50th Anniversary of Wahine Disaster.

Zevon, there were 734 passengers and crew on the ship so 683 people survived the sinking that day. Two of these survivors died later, though.
