The West Hika Aground At Hawthorn - Hawthorn

Photograph of a ship in the middle distance with sea in the foreground; the ship has a funnel from which smoke is issuing and appears to be on an even keel; the photograph has been identified as The West Hika aground at Hawthorn, 15 January 1936

Date: 1936

Comment: I have a glass negative photo of the stern of this ship as it lay aground. The name Hika West is clearly visible with the word Mobile below. Most of the starboard side can be seen . There is a long stepladder going down to the water with some person(s) on it near the bottom. A boat is moored there.The neg. is reasoably well exposed and I will send a print to the archive
