List of shipwrecks of Southland
Appearance
There is a long history of shipwrecks and vessels capsizing or being lost in the seas around the Southland Region of New Zealand.[1] The worst incident was on 29 April 1881, when the SS Tararua struck Otara reef 13 km (8.1 mi) off Waipapa Point.[2][3][4] Of the ship's 151 passengers, only 20 survived. This incident is the worst maritime disaster for civilian vessels in New Zealand's history.[5] The disaster led to the establishment of a lighthouse at Waipapa Point.[6][7] Serious incidents with multiple fatalities have continued into the 21st century, and the Bluff Coastguard is often called upon to assist vessels in distress in Foveaux Strait.[8]
