In this episode, Graeme Hill is joined by John McCrystal to revisit one of New Zealand’s most haunting maritime disasters: the 1968 wreck of the Wahine. Through chilling archival audio, vivid eyewitness detail, and a clear account of the storm, the ship, and the rescue effort, the conversation traces how a routine overnight ferry crossing became a national tragedy, and why the images and memories of that day still sit so heavily in New Zealand’s collective memory.
