Shipwrecks

Shipwrecks
Many ships were wrecked on the Auckland Islands, as they lie on the 'Great Circle' sailing route from Australia to Cape Horn. This headstone in the lonely little cemetery near the failed Enderby Settlement tells its own story. More on shipwrecks and castaways here: www.teara.govt.nz/en/castaways/page-1 View on black.
