Three rotting hulks near Port Chalmers, 1900s

  This is Deborah Bay. I'm still looking into the ships that are named. The Don Juan was definitely sent there as her final resting place.

  Here's some more information; The Don Juan had been renamed the Rosalia. She entered Port Chalmers in November of 1874. It turned out she was a literal death trap. She had been ordered to make certain repairs and then had changed hands. A new Crew was taken on and an attempt made to leave the harbour. She was stopped at the heads. The vessel was condemned as unseaworthy and later taken to Deborah Bay to be broken up. She is referred to in White Wings as being 'an ex-slaver' www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Bre02Whit-t1-body-d2-d3-d4... The Otago Daily Times also gives an account of the Don Juan's attempt to leave the the harbour. Article dated 15 October 1875 www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Bre02Whit-t1-body-d2-d3-d4...

  This 1926 movie was the first to have a soundtrack using the synchronized Vitaphone system - there was no dialog but the music and effects were heard. According to Wikipedia there is a surviving print at UCLA's Film and Television Archive.
