- Description
The Hydrabad, 1350 tons, ran aground on the beach a mile south of Waitarere on the night of 24 June 1878. She was bound for Adelaide to Lyttleton, loaded with iron for the New Zealand railways and had few passengers. No lives were lost in the wreck but while still stranded a fire broke out and the ship was declared unsalvageable. She remains on the beach: her decks were still visible in the 1960s.
