SUMMARY:S.S. Penguin Tour - BOOKED OUT
DESCRIPTION:This tour is now booked out. We hope to run it again in the future\, so please keep checking our Events page or follow us on Facebook. \n  \nOn the 12 February 1909\, the SS Penguin sank in Cook Strait in a raging southerly storm with the loss of 72 lives\, one of the worst maritime disasters in NZ history. Many of those who died were woman and children\, as their lifeboats capsized in the wild sea. \nAlthough the Captain was heavily criticised\, it is still not clear what the ship hit nor where\, as the wreck of the Penguin has never been located. \nThe tragedy stunned Wellington and a day of mourning was called for 16 February. The city came to a standstill as many of those who died were brought up to Karori Cemetery for burial in a long procession of cabs and lorries. \nTo commemorate this tragedy the Friends will be undertaking a guided tour of most of the Penguin graves on Sunday 12 February. This is our first attempt by the Friends to widen the knowledge of this tragedy. \nThe tour will commence at 2.00 at the Shelter which is located in the center of Karori Cemetery and will run for up to two hours starting with a short presentation. The tour covers some uneven ground and sustained uphill stints and so may not be suitable for everyone. \nThis is a free tour and bookings are required. Bookings can be made by following this link: \nhttps://events.humanitix.com/ss-penguin-tour \n
