    I love this transition era between horse modern cars

    Me too - I think that's why the photo appealed to me. I guess there are lots of points in time like this - gas lights & electric lightbulbs, typewriters and word processors - but it's amazing to reflect on photographic evidence. -- Courtney

The steam ship "Hawea" run ashore at the entrance to the Grey River, Greymouth, 30 October 1908

  • Jens Roesner said:
    A great shot, but a tragic sight. I never realised that the Grey River is so dangerous, but then again, the West Coast can be pretty rough...
  • Lú_ said:
    Terrible event, but what a wonderful photograph!
  • Marcello Sokal said:
    Great one!

    @Jens @Lu There are many shipwreck photographs in our collections - some of them are extremely poignant. I suppose today we have no conception of just how risky sea travel was. -- Courtney

    With storms hitting the US, there's a spooky coincidence that this one ran aground on this day 104 years ago
