Wednesday June 15 2022 Bay Harbour News Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 15 Treasures from the past: Last Voyage of S.S. Tyrone IT WAS a fine day on September 26, 1913, when the cargo steamer Tyrone left Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour bound for Port Chalmers on what was to be her fateful voyage. The Tyrone, originally named the Drayton Grange, was commissioned in 1901 by the Houlder Brothers (UK), and built at the Workman, Clark and Company yards in Belfast. A steel hulled, four masted, schooner rigged steamer, she displaced 6664 tons and was 137m long, with two 662 horsepower steam engines and a sustained speed of 11 knots. For a decade, she plied the Australasian trade routes before being purchased in 1912 by the Union Steam Ship Company and renamed Tyrone. On September 24, 1913, under the command of Captain McLaughlan, the Tyrone arrived in Lyttelton port from Liverpool, UK, with her hold full of general goods, tons of pig iron and several thousand bottles of whisky. After this stop she was to discharge the last of her cargo in Dunedin and Bluff, before starting a new USSCo trade route between Sydney, Wellington and Vancouver. Leaving Whakaraupō heads on September 26, the Tyrone rounded Horomaka Banks Peninsula and was past the Akaroa lighthouse by 3:25pm, setting course for the 240km, 12- hour night run to Otago in clear weather. At midnight, Robert Leighton began his shift as lighthouse keeper at Taiaroa Heads, overlooking the mouth of the Otago harbour. Around 2:40am on the 27th, he noted a light northerly breeze blowing a thick fog in, and so he began to sound the explosive fog warning every six minutes, as was the standard practice of the day. It was this fog warning that first alerted Captain McLaughlin to the danger at around 3:45am as the Tyrone neared the heads, having made record time at 12 knots aided by an unusually strong current. Slowing the engines to half speed, the captain made his fateful decision. Rather than drop anchor and FINAL VOYAGE: The wreck of the S.S. Tyrone off Rerewahine Point.

After 10 minutes, the ship’s lookout Archibald McLean could see no lights nor land until suddenly breakers loomed large. He called the warning down and at 4:05am, the ship came to a dead stop as the captain ordered full astern, hard to port, but to no avail, and two minutes later a heavy bump was heard. At 4:30am, the watchman at Taiaroa Heads lighthouse, William Carter, heard the first distress signal and the tug Plucky was dispatched. As the fog cleared with the dawn, it became apparent that the Tyrone had missed the port heads by a mile to the south, driven by the strong southbound current. The tug attempted a tow but the Tyrone was stranded hard on the rocks just off Rerewahine Point, close enough for the crew to abandon ship via a 20-foot ladder. Divers reported two large holes in the hull, and the Tyrone was declared a total loss. To this day she remains the largest ship to wreck on the coast of the South Island. Captain McLaughlin was exonerated by a magisterial inquiry, which found that “the unusual and strong current was the primary cause of the disaster”. While much of the cargo was salvaged, it was reported that many cases of whisky went ‘missing’, coinciding with a short-lived epidemic of what came to be called the “Tyrone flu” amongst the local fishermen.
