Many of those who died were woman and children, as their lifeboats capsized in the wild sea.
Although the Captain was heavily criticised, it is still not clear what the ship hit nor where, as the wreck of the Penguin has never been located.
The tragedy stunned Wellington and a day of mourning was called for 16 February. The city came to a standstill as many of those who died were brought up to Karori Cemetery for burial in a long procession of cabs and lorries.
To commemorate this tragedy the Friends will be undertaking a guided tour of most of the Penguin graves on Sunday 12 February. This is our first attempt by the Friends to widen the knowledge of this tragedy.
The tour will commence at 2.00 at the Shelter which is located in the center of Karori Cemetery and will run for up to two hours starting with a short presentation. The tour covers some uneven ground and sustained uphill stints and so may not be suitable for everyone.
This is a free tour and bookings are required. Bookings can be made by following this link:

Hannah is a fine artist, illustrator and designer who will be resident in the Treehouse between 1 Feb to 1 April 10.30—3pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
She says, “I am interested in the meanings humans read into images. My paintings - whether still life or figurative - play with a make-believe mythology. Memories, objects, and stories handed down from parents and grandparents — or handed up from my children — feature alongside woven and collected natural materials foraged during half-remembered summer holidays”.
The sights and smells of nature during summer and autumn always make her creative sap rise. She says “What a treat to be working in the Gardens amongst such a well of inspiration at this time of year!"
Hannah is looking forward to meeting you at the Treehouse. All art work is for sale with a portion of the sale going towards various Friends projects.
Art classes will also be available – watch this space for further details

Now they have returned home, I have no further use for them.
The Cuisinart ice cream maker has only been used twice with great success. It is very simple to use and makes ice cream, sorbet or frozen yoghurt in about 20 minutes. These were over $400 new . Now a fraction of the price: $40.
The Davis and Waddell electric fondue set comes complete with 8 forks and can be used for either fondue Bourguignonne (meat) or cheese fondue. Just fill, plug in and use with up to 8 people. Great fun ! Only been used twice from new and now only $ 60 !
We never got around using the mini waffle maker, so it is still brand new and has its box. $20
Appliances come with instructions/recipes.

NB. Ice cream maker has been sold!
