Go wreck diving

Produced by New Zealand Geographic

The steamer Waikare was wrecked on January 4, 1910, in Dusky Sound when on her annual excursion to the West Coast Sounds. There was no loss of life amongst the 141 passengers and 85 crew, nor did anybody get wet. She has rested there ever since, the province of butterfly perch with the distinctive spot that local fishos suggest is a “map of Australia”.
