"The 'Felix Stowe' Wreck on Manawatu beach 1878"

"The 'Felix Stowe' Wreck on Manawatu beach 1878"

The Felixstowe was a barque trading into Ōtaki. She was wrecked on 13 October 1878 when - like the Hydrabad in June of the same year - she mistook the northern end of Kāpiti, on which there was no lighthouse, for Stephens Island in Cook Straight. The captain, Piggot, was never found; three crewman were washed ashore dead. The ship's resting place is off the coast just to the south of Pakakutu - a little to the north of the mouth of Ōtaki.

This image is a black and white photograph of a watercolour drawing by John Tiffen Stewart (1827-1913), a civil engineer, surveyor and amateur artist. The original drawing is part of the J. T. Stewart papers donated to the Whanganui Museum by W. T. Stewart.
