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

    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...

    Terrible event, but what a wonderful photograph!

    @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

    looks like the good capt. grounded his ship on Fire Island in April, 1911: "The North German liner Prinzess Irene arrived safely at her pier in Hoboken at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, under her own steam, and looked none the worse for her eighty-three-hour rest on the Fire Island sandbars. Capt. F. von Letten-Peterssen, who was in command of the liner, said that, so far as he could tell, the only damage the vessel sustained was the breaking of the frame of the rudder post." query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9506E1DE1031E233A...

    Great portrait :) The light here is very nice and the sharpness is amazing compared to such an old photo :)

    In 1911 when the ship was grounded. The ship was interred in 1914: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Pocahontas_(ID-3044)

    >This is most likely for when the ship was interred in 1914: I don't get that from the wikipedia link. It says Peterssen was captain of the ship when it grounded.

    After being taken over by the U. S., she was renamed the Pocahontas.

De Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth biplanes on an airfield in Queensland

from State Library of Queensland

  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The de Havilland DH 82 Tiger Moth is a 1930s biplane designed by Geoffrey de Havilland and was operated by the Royal Air Force and others as a primary trainer. The Tiger Moth remained in service with the RAF until 1952 when many of the surplus aircraft entered civil operation. Many other nations used the Tiger Moth both in military and civil applications and the ubiquitous little trainer is still in great demand worldwide as a recreational aircraft. It is still occasionally used as a primary training aircraft, although now most Tiger Moths employed in training duties are used by pilots gaining experience for 'taildragger' license ratings.
