5:57 what youre looking at is the boiler. it would either have been fed with hand shoveled coal or bunker oil and would produce steam for the ship to run on
So interesting 🧐 thank you 😊
As a born/bred ChCh local it's interesting to hear your perspective on a place that many of us got thoroughly bored of as a kid being taken there year after year at school (and every history project we ever did as kids always seem to be on this place!) The ships that are "wrecked" are actually intentional as a scrapping graveyard. All were built in the 1800's but not abandoned until the 1900's. The bigger ship you were talking about is the "Darra" and rather surprisingly was only scrapped/abandoned/left there in 1950! The boiler at 5:46 comes from the oldest of the wrecks, the Mullogh, which was left to rot in 1923 (originally built in 1855). You are quite correct - it was a steam ship and rather remarkably was one of the very first screw steamers in the world!
P.S. well done on incorporating some te reo Māori!
P.P.S. I am utterly shocked at the price of the ferry to the island now! Admitedly I haven't been for maybe 10 years but it was never that high... perhaps the (reasonably new) cruise ship visits have made them up the prices!
Thanks so much for the insight! We found it so interesting! Its amazing what you can find just outside of ChCh.
Thanks for your comment 😊
P.s i have to agree the ferry price is a bit much 😂
It is not the only eccentric island in Lyttelton Harbour.
Look up Ripapa Island.
Wow thank you! Will check it out
There's also one in Wellington, with even bigger history,
Will look that one up. Thanks 😊
Somes island
amazing place!
It really is 😍 so interesting!
Having grown up in Dunedin I never thought of it as haunted haha but yeah a bit spooky!
We have only just come to understand there is an actual Quarantine island in Dunedin as well 😂😂 this island was only used to quarantine leprosy patients. will have to visit this other Island! Thanks
I also from Dunedin ..live on harbour not overly far from it. I was thinking maybe we should start putting unvaccinated covid patients on it & my govt agreed until I told them I was joking 🤣🤣🤯 just joking
Kamau Taurua island
Is that the one near Dunedin? Must visit there also!
i always was of the belief the Dunedin one is Quarantine Island and never knew Quail island was used for the same reasons so interesting to find out about this :), cheers
