Wreck of The Gairloch

The bow of the SS Gairloch is slowly deteriorating into the sand and rocks near Oakura on Taranaki coast in New Zealand. The rusted iron skeleton is all that remains since the ship ran aground on Timaru Reef over 100 years ago, on a reportedly dark and moonless night of January 5th 1903.
