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...

• 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

• Photos of the Past said:

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

  Wow. What a phenomenal photograph.

• Lucy said:

  wonderful

• Jonathan Stiles said:

  Often those young lads fell from the yards, either into the sea or onto the deck. They hoped for the latter as that way death would be more immediate. If they fell into the sea there was zero chance of rescue. The ship sailed on.

• Terrific Lake said:

  best shot

• Jonathan Stiles said:

  Imagine that ship pitching and yawing . . . . they'd experience being lifted and dropped dozens of feet: it would be hard to stay on! A very good account of what that life was like is written in autobiographical form by Eric Newby in "The Last Grain Race."
