On 19 January 1947 the Wanganella ran aground on Barrett Reef at the entrance to Wellington harbour. 21 years later the same reef would cause the Wahine disaster, with the loss of 53 lives.
The Wanganella’s captain mistook a flashing buoy in front of the reef for the light to guide ships into Wellington harbour. The ship hit the reef just before midnight and remained stuck fast for the next 18 days.
The 400 passengers were evacuated from the ship on 20 January. Many attempts were made to rescue the Wanganella and tugboats finally hauled it free on 6 February.
