Summary

[edit]
Description

On 3 September 1975 the Noumea-registered ship 'Capitaine Bougainville' sank off Whananaki in Northland, causing the loss of 16 lives.

An engine-room fire meant that all 37 people onboard were forced to abandon ship during a terrible storm. 12 metre-high waves caused a lifeboat to capsize.

The dead included the wife and children of the captain. The disaster remains Northland’s worst shipping tragedy.

Pictured above is a plan of the 'Capitaine Bougainville', found in a 1975 Ministry of Transport file.
