Kakapo Wreck

This is the Kakapo wreck, down the beach from where I live.

On May 26th, 1900 Kakapo ran aground in fog, at Slangkop Point, Noordhoek beach, South Africa. All were saved. She was declared a total loss and after WWI, her hull plating was used to keep sand off the railway lines and road.
