The Star of Canada was a cargo ship. It sank on a rocky reef at
Kaiti Beach, while steaming into the port of Gisborne on a stormy
night in 1912. The crew saved the cargo but were unable to save the
ship. They managed to cut away the wheelhouse and load it onto a
barge. the harbour tugboat towed the tug to shore. No lives were
lost. Mr Good, a jewller, bought the wheelhouse and towed it
through Gisborne streets to Childers Road where he turned it into a
house. Today, the wheelhouse of the Star of Canada is part of the
Tairawhiti Museum.
The museum and Star of Canada is well worth a look through. The
