The third and final slide taken at ship wreck. Please see picture #28874 and picture #28875 to help identify ship and location. I include this picture as it is a nice photograph of George Eunson (Quoybanks Crescent) who worked in the sawmill on Junction Road. His nephew who I can't remember his name and my wife to be. George took us to the wreck that day and a fascinating time was had. The ship probably wasn't that big but standing next to it it seemed huge.
[Search on this site for 'SS Irene' and 'Longhope lifeboat' for context of the tragedy. See particularly picture #26274 and picture #26760 - Steven]
