The Wahine, April 10th 1968

 The Wahine 

I believe this is about a ship on April 10th 1986 that sunk among the water

I think I will find out the time that it happened, what happened to the people aboard the ship, and how it happened

1. The weather was very bad having two huge storms 

2.The Wahine was going to wellington harbour

3.Only three lifeboats, as only four could be released and one of them sinking immediately

4.The rest were forced to jump in the water and swim to shore

5.Rescuers were unable to get to shore because there was things blocking the road

6.In total 53 people died.

Reflection

I am learning about the Wahine, that sunk in 1968

This work shows my learning because its a reflection on what i have learnt about the Wahine

I am wondering how many people are still alive today that was on that ferry and if they ever went on another ferry

Looking back on my predictions i got the date and what had happened correct
