Mauke Shipwreck...

MV Te Kou Maru II

Shipwrecked a year ago...

Almost a graveyard feeling looking at this fallen lady...
Rust covers the reef and chips are in the surrounding lagoon



Torn and ripped...

Can only imagine the environmental impact this has had...










Where once crew walked and cargo was stored is now holes...

On the Thursday guys had started on the selvage task, trees had been falled
to make access to the sight easier.  It has been a year since the ship hit the
reef and only now is the clean up happening.  Thankfully the community worked
together to get all the fuel off within the first few days.
