    Image from the Eric Maple Lewis personal collection. Aerial oblique view of the passenger ship TEV Rangatira aground on rocks near Pigeon Bay, Banks Peninsula. This accident happened on 29 December 1940 and was re-floated within a day. The date from the Wigram negative register is most likely the date of registration, not the date of exposure. Original RNZAF negative number obscured by paper fibres on the reverse of the print.
