This year marks the 115th anniversary of the sinking of the S.S. Penguin on Wellington's south coast. It is a part of our history that not many people know about.

The Penguin was the inter-island ferry of its day. When it sank in a storm on 12th February 1909, two thirds of those on board lost their lives including all of the children and all except one woman.

The Friends will be running their annual S.S. Penguin tour on the 11th February from 1-3pm. This tour will cover the stories of some of the many lives lost that night. Tickets are $10 per person. Please visit our website to secure yours:

Lovely classic shape. It could do with being recovered if you are looking for an upholstery activity. Or can be used. It was covered in a light coloured linen fabric which has proven to be a poor choice! The chair was in a sunny spare room and was a huge favourite of the cats. It just shows every spec of dirt. In theory you are t supposed to clean linen with an upholstery steam clean. I patch tested a bit and it actually came up ok.

Collect from 49 Te Wharepōuri St either this weekend or a weeknight next week. Should be picked up either by someone strong, or two people!
