The Oakburn (1906)

On 21 May 1906, the Oakburn, a 3865 ton British Steamer, hit the rocks of Maori Bay during thick fog. She was on a voyage from New York to Sydney carrying a cargo of railway equipment, sewing machines, musical instruments, glassware, oil and paper.

The wreck is partly broken up, but there are still sections of the bow and engine that are recognizable. On the site many artifacts are still lying around. We kindly ask that you don't remove them.
