Community turns to chat 

app to report rising crime 

• By Dylan Smits 

WHATSAPP groups are 

being used to monitor crime 

and bring neighbourhoods 

together around community 

safety. 

Over the past year residents 

have set up these text chats 

in communities between 

Ferrymead and Scarborough 

to address what some see as 

a lack of police presence in a 

time of rising crime. 

“Neighbourhoods have 

changed over they years,” 

said Sumner Village group 

organiser Susie Lomax. 

“You used to know everyone 

on your street. 

“Now the best way to 

connect together and keep 

each other safe is these 

WhatsApp groups. 

“It’s really vital.” 

The Sumner Village group 

has about 50 members and 

Lomax is appealing to people 

living in other areas to create 

more. 

WhatsApp groups in 

Scarborough and Richmond 

Hill had also attracted 

a significant number of 

members. The groups function 

as private channels where 

residents are encouraged to 

report criminal or suspicious 

activities to their neighbours 

using text or footage from 

their home security cameras. 

Police statistics show there 

has been a spike in crime in 

Sumner over the past two 

years. From January 30, 2022,

to January 30 this year, 371 

victimisation crimes were 

reported in the suburb, an 

increase from 273 between 

January 30, 2020, and January 

30, 2022. 

Victimisation crimes are 

incidents in which a victim 

is involved, such as burglary, 

theft, robbery, assault, sexual 

assault or murder. 

A police spokesperson 

responded to claims they had 

a lack of presence in Sumner 

and the surrounding areas, 

saying all instances of crime 

should be reported “to help 

inform our deployment 

patterns’’. 

The Richmond Hill 

WhatsApp group has about 

80 members, said organiser 

Graeme Baird.

Road must be saved before 

being ‘cut off’ by rising sea 


SAVING Governors Bay- 

Teddington Rd from rising sea 

levels is a priority for users of the 

vulnerable route. 

Diamond Harbour 

Community Association 

president Graeme Fraser said 

implementing climate change 

adaptation options to preserve 

the road is important for 

residents and visitors. 

“If it was gone we’d be cut 

off completely. We’d have to go 

the long way around Gebbies 

Pass, which would be quite the 

change.” 

The association supports 

either flood proofing the road or 

moving sections of it to higher 

ground but says the city council 

must act before significant sea 

level rise. 

“It would be good to see some 

concrete steps taken fairly soon 

because the road to Diamond 

Harbour is already quite 

vulnerable to flooding when 

there’s high-tide.” 

The low-lying road is a focus 

area for city council’s draft 

adaptation pathways options 

because it is vulnerable to 

flooding and critical to accessing 

the southern end of Lyttelton 

Harbour and the eastern bays. 

City council statistics show 

the road is used by about 2000 

vehicles a day. 

The options proposed by 

the city council’s coastal panel 

are closing parts of the road 

and building anew on higher 

ground, flood proofing the route 

by raising the road or building a 

sea wall, or closing the road and 

improving other routes around 

the harbour such as the Summit 

Rd to Gebbies Pass Rd route. 

A study by GNS science 

estimated sea levels around the 

harbour could rise by 38-47cm 

over the next 30 years. 

The road sits at sea level and a 

coastal panel report identified it 

as a high-risk area for flooding

if no adaptation measures are 

taken. 

Teddington Quarry manager 

Barry Blatchford believes the 

solution is simple. 

“It’s pretty basic, really, all they 

need to do is lift the road up.” 

Purau residents use the road 

as their main route between the 

settlement and Christchurch. 

The coastal panel member 

for Purau, Paul Dahl, said it 

is crucial to implement an 

adaptation plan before the 

flooding risk becomes too high. 

“They will have to do work 

before that, or it will be closed 

and we’ll have to go the long way 

round.”

Long-overdue upgrades set to 

transform neglected courts 


IN A BOON for sports-goers 

in Akaroa, upgrades to the 

recreation ground’s worn out 

tennis courts will likely start in 

spring. 

The city council has budgeted 

$170,000 to re-asphalt the three 

courts, put up new fencing 

and carry out any necessary 

groundwork for the area’s only 

three public tennis courts. 

The Banks Peninsula Sports 

and Recreation committee wants 

to raise an additional $100,000 

to astroturf one of the courts and 

transform it into a multi-sport 

surface. 

“This complex will again 

become a real asset to our 

community and allow people 

to play a variety of sports and 

do a variety of activities here in 

Akaroa,” said committee member 

Jan Whitehead. 

The courts are currently in 

poor condition with an uneven 

surface, she said. 

“All of them have got crack or 

sunken or they’re just not safe to 

use really.” 

Whitehead said there have 

already been expressions of 

interest in using the astroturf

court from junior hockey teams. 

“The idea for the future is just 

getting as many casual teams 

using them as we can.” 

The Akaroa Croquet Club, 

netball teams and pickleball 

players have all expressed their 

support, and an interest in using 

the new upgraded courts. 

The upgrades will help revive 

groups like the Akaroa Tennis 

Club which disbanded as the 

courts became unusable, said 

Whitehead. 

“At the moment if you’re 

playing a game of tennis, you 

hit the cracks and the balls 

bounce off in all sorts of random 

directions.” 

Whitehead said the committee 

is already making good 

fundraising progress, with some 

large donations from individuals 

and organisations like the Akaroa 

Lions Club already secured. 

She anticipates the upgrades 

might take a few weeks after 

construction starts. 

Although construction is 

planned to start in spring, 

city council community parks 

manager Al Hardy said the 

date depends on whether the 

committee secures the necessary 

funding for the astroturf. 

The committee was formed 

more than six years ago to 

advocate to and coordinate an 

upgrade with the city council. 

“I think to get this done, the 

council really needed a group 

like us to say ‘we want to work in 

partnership with you’.”

Policing hub 

Gary, Tom, Arnie 

plan on hold 

• From page 1 

“We’ve got nearly full 

coverage of the hill,” Baird said. 

“It’s been good for a couple 

of situations where suspicious 

people have been wandering 

around open garage doors. Then 

people can let each other know.” 

Baird and Lomax both 

emphasised members of the 

WhatsApp groups should still 

report crime and suspicious 

behaviour to police as 

the channels are only 

for monitoring and 

reporting to neighbours. 

Future plans for the 

WhatsApp groups 

involve setting up a 

community policing 

hub at the old Sumner 

police station. But 

police opposition to the 

proposal has brought it to a halt 

for now. 

The plan to use the Nayland 

St building was first raised in 

July by the Bays Community 

Policing Hub, which includes 

some members of the 

WhatsApp groups. 

But police told Bay Harbour 

News the group had been 

Lane Todd 

advised it could not use 

the building “months ago”. 

But when Bay Harbour 

News approached the hub, a 

spokesperson said it was not 

aware of this decision and was 

surprised by it. 

Metro area commander, 

Superintendent Lane Todd, said 

the plan was declined because 

police want people to report 

crime directly to them, rather 

than through a hub. 

“That way we can gather 

as much information 

as possible at the time, 

providing a better 

response.” 

The building is 

currently occupied by 

the Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association. 

The hub spokesperson 

said police misunderstood the 

proposed function of the hub 

as people would be encouraged 

to report crime to the police as 

well. 

Said Banks Peninsula MP 

Vanessa Weenink: “If police 

don’t support it, I don’t support 

it. It seems unlikely it would go 

ahead.”

THE STORY of family, nature, 

and the bond between a Cass 

Bay father, his son, and their 

furry companion is unfolding 

around Lyttelton Harbour. 

Gary Freedman, son Tom and 

cocker spaniel Arnie make a 

great trapping team. 

Freedman said when Arnie 

races off to check the traps “he 

lets us know if there’s something 

in there”. 

When a trap has caught 

something, they have developed 

an easy routine, sharing their 

jobs. 

“It’s really handy with two 

because it makes everything a 

bit quicker,” said Freedman. 

The trio are members of 

Whaka-Ora Pest Project, a 

community trapping initiative 

covering the parks and trails 

around the harbour. 

“One of us can do the trap, 

and the other person can be on 

the app, logging the catch on 

TrapNZ. By yourself, you have 

to take the gloves off, get into 

computer mode, and then flip 

back to nature,” said Freedman. 

Tom, 17, is so fast at logging 

the catches, Freedman barely 

notices him doing it. 

He said without Tom, he 

would probably forget to record 

AT WORK: Father and son pest trapping team Gary and 

Tom Freedman working in Cass Bay with their loyal cocker 

spaniel Arnie. 

the catches online. 

They’ve recorded excellent 

results so far. 

“It’s really satisfying when you 

get something,” Tom said. 

“You know you’re doing it 

well, and it’s working.” 

The Cashmere High student 

has a message for young people 

in New Zealand. 

“I urge everyone, especially 

young people, to do something 

like this because it feels so good,” 

he said. 

“The world so often feels a 

little hopeless with climate 

change and everything that’s 

happening in the world. But 

these things on a local scale can 

make such a difference.” 

Understanding Pain in Pets 

ow do we know when our pets are in pain? They’re 

H still eating their food, they’re running around and 

playing with their toys, surely they feel fine? Don’t they? 

In the animal kingdom, the primary goal is simple: keep 

the species going. Nature, as it turns out, isn’t too fussed 

about our happiness or how good our hair (or coat) looks 

or whether we have the latest toys. It cares about survival 

– eat, stay out of danger and survive long enough to keep 

producing offspring to carry on the cycle. Pain plays 

a crucial role in survival. It’s the body’s way of saying, 

“That’s hot, get away from that fire!” or “Ouch, that’s 

sharp, it’ll cut me!” or “Look out! That other animal wants 

to eat me. Run!” 

As humans, we have the luxury of interpreting pain with 

a touch of modern convenience: If we have a sore tooth 

we can just call the dentist, if we’ve injured ourselves we 

know we can take it easy for a few days. Our furry friends 

have a more primal understanding. 

For them, pain isn’t just a signal, it’s a survival tool deeply 

rooted in their biology. They’re not going to come and 

tell us “Hey, I’m hurting”, they’re wired to tough it out 

and keep going, no matter what, so they are masters at 

disguising signs of injury or illness. 

Pain can manifest in different ways. Acute pain comes on 

suddenly and can look more obvious or severe. It acts as 

a protective reflex at first but can become harmful if left 

untreated. Chronic pain tends to be more insidious in 

onset and the signs can be much more subtle, it has little 

protective value and can become quite debilitating having 

significant impacts on overall quality of life. 

So, how do we tell if our furry companions are in pain? It’s 

all about paying attention to the signs. It can really help to 

think about how your pet behaves normally (or if they’re 

older, how they used to behave when they were young), 

how they move, what activities they like, how they play, 

do they look for attention? Knowing what is normal for 

them can help you detect early changes more quickly. Our 

pets won’t always show their discomfort in obvious ways, 

so it’s essential to be vigilant and proactive in seeking 

veterinary care when needed. 

At Kowhai Veterinary Clinic, we’re committed to helping 

our furry friends live their best lives. From chronic pain 

management to proactive preventive care, we’re here to 

support you every step of the way. Because when it comes 

to our pets’ well-being, there’s no goal more important 

than ensuring their comfort and happiness. 

Remember, old age is not a disease. While our pets may 

slow down a bit as they age, it’sessential to address any 

signs of discomfort or pain promptly. With the right care 

and attention, we can help our furry companions exceed 

nature’s survival goals and live a life filled with comfort 

and joy. 

So, here’s to keeping our pets happy, healthy, and 

pain-free – because when they thrive, we thrive too. 

Signs of Pain in Animals 

• loss of appetite or difficulty eating 

• decreased activity 

• restlessness 

• decreased engagement with human and animal friends 

• panting 

• salivation 

• posture changes – may be rigid, hunched, or drooping 

• wide eyes 

• limping/change in gait 

• change in behavior – aggression/irritability 

• whining/moaning/ other vocalization 

• Inappropriate toileting - soiling in house 

• squinting, blinking, tears, eye redness or discharge 

Common Causes of Pain 

• Musculoskeletal – bones, joints, muscles, tendons 

– fractures, strains, bruises, arthritis, etc. 

• Visceral – coming from internal organs such as 

stomach, intestines, urinary tract, even eyes 

– think UTI, stomach ulcers, pneumonia, cancer, etc. 

• Neurologic – neurologic pain can come from 

damaged nerves, neuropathies, and some autoimmune 

diseases 

• Dental/oral – oral pain can come from fractured 

damaged teeth, gum disease, oral ulcers, or oral 

foreign bodies 

• Dermal – the skin is the body’s first alert system and 

it’s full of pain receptors – scrapes, burns, cuts, and 

rashes can all cause pain

team up to take down pests 

Joining the pest project was a 

no-brainer for Freedman too. 

The 50-year-old works in sustainability 

and has even brought 

in and piloted New Zealand’s first 

fully electric airplane. 

Over the past five years, the 

Freedman family has helped replant 

Steadfast Reserve above Cass 

Bay with native trees. 

Alongside the Cass Bay Reserves 

Committee, they have contributed 

to transforming the grassy valley 

into an area filled with natives. 

“All of these trees you see here 

are the riparian planting we’ve 

planted over the last two or three 

years. We’re so proud of how this 

has come up it’s phenomenal,” said 

Freedman. 

To protect the plants and encourage 

native species to come back, he 

knew the community would need 

to start trapping in the reserve. 

So when he ran into pest project 

co-ordinator Katie Dunlop while 

walking Arnie, it didn’t take a lot 

of persuasion to sign up as a local 

trapper. 

Tom was immediately keen to 

help. 

“I’ve been involved with the sustainability 

council at school for a 

while, and we do a bit of trapping,” 

Tom said. 

“But it’s awesome to do it in your 

own backyard.” 

He loves seeing all the birds 

return to the valley. 

“It does feel like there are more 

birds here since the planting, and 

we need to protect them.” 

The pest project works in city 

council parks and reserves to support 

the work already being done 

by Predator Free Port Hills. 

The group is also tackling 

invasive plant species around the 

harbour to ensure native plants 

and animals can thrive. 

The community trapping project 

took months of careful planning 

and research. 

Said Dunlop: “We started monitoring 

for pests in January 2023 

and collated that data to identify 

where the hotspots are.” 

In October, she ran a series of information 

evenings for locals who 

signed up to become community 

trappers. 

CATCH: Gary 

Freedman and 

Arnie check a 

pest trap. 

TRACK: Tom 

and Gary 

Freedman 

also help plant 

native trees 

with the Cass 

Bay Reserves 

Committee. 

Freedman and Tom were impressed 

by the resources provided 

by the pest project for the volunteers. 

“Tom and I went along to the 

training, and we learned how the 

different traps worked and some of 

the reasons we’re trapping. It was 

really useful,” said Freedman. 

Each member receives a backpack, 

a handbook detailing safe 

trapping techniques, a high-vis 

vest, a hip pack, and all the tools 

needed to clean, service and 

change out baits in the various 

traps. 

Said Dunlop: “WOPP has been 

able to learn from all the years of 

experience that other predator 

control groups have built up 

throughout the country. 

“We don’t have to reinvent the 

wheel.”

92yo Ailsa’s motto: ‘Use it or lose it’ 

• By Sasha Watson 

EXTENSIVE TRAINING was 

a key factor in Ailsa Newton’s 

walk of 8480 steps in the Les Mills 

City2Surf fun run. 

Not bad for a 92-year-old. 

Ailsa completed the 6.5km 

distance from Porritt Park to 

Rawhiti Domain in one hour and 

43 minutes. 

“The event was very good and 

very well organised. It was a relief 

to finish and I was very glad to sit 

down. 

“I am quite proud of myself for 

having done it. As people say, use 

it or lose it. I must say thank you 

to all who supported me.” 

Ailsa, a resident at the Archer 

Retirement Village and Rest 

Home in Beckenham, said having 

its staff organise the walk helped 

push her to complete it. 

She was joined by her son Brian 

McCracken and fellow residents, 

the home’s general manager Jane 

Haughey and site manager Philip 

Hanson. 

The ex-Brookhaven resident had 

persevered with extensive training 

for six weeks by walking daily. 

On the event day, she surpassed 

her 6km milestone which she had 

achieved the week before. 

“I’m still asking myself why I 

did it. I will never do it again. 

“But, I am looking at taking 

on a 5km Pink Ribbon walk in 

CELEBRATED: Archer 

Village’s acting activities 

provider, Bridie O’Flaherty, 

helped Ailsa Newton 

prepare for the walk and 

presented her with flowers 

and a pair of socks. 

October. I’m resting for now, so 

we will see . . . I’ll be a bit older by 

then,” she said. 

Having been a keen walker 

for many years, Ailsa was once a 

part of the WEA Trampers and 

the Cashmere Athletic walking 

group. 

“I started walking when I was 

one year old . . . but I joined my 

groups a long time ago so I’ve 

been actively walking for about 75 

years.” 

She continues to walk 1.5km 

four days a week and takes part 

in the rest home’s activities 

programme. 

A gathering took place at the 

home on Tuesday to celebrate the 

achievement of the three walkers 

and the village team. 

Plan to make sailing accessible for disabled people 

HOPEFUL: Five wheelchair users were the first to enjoy 

SailAbility’s services during a fundraiser held at the Naval 

Point Club. 

STEADY PACE: Ailsa Newton managed to cover 8480 steps in the Les Mills City2Surf fun 

run. She was supported by her son Brian McCracken, as well as fellow residents and staff 

from Archer Retirement Village and Rest Home. 


A NEW charity helping disabled 

people to sail is hoping to be 

fully operational by spring. 

The SailAbility Canterbury 

Charitable Trust held a sailing 

fundraiser, which served as a 

test drive for their proposed 

service in Lyttelton. 

“We want to support as 

many people as possible to get 

into sailing,” said trustee Ben 

Acland. 

“We know currently there 

is no way to get people with 

physical disabilities, like 

paraplegics, into the boats.” 

In the future, the trust wants 

to work with the city council to 

make wharfs in Lyttelton more 

wheelchair accessible. 

The future sailing programme 

would involve volunteers of 

varying experience who would 

assist and teach interested 

disabled people to sail small 

boats. 

Acland anticipated the 

trust will cater for different 

programmes to people’s varying 

disabilities. It will be run out of 

the Naval Point Club. 

Volunteers hosted five 

wheelchair users in an assisted 

sailing event and held a raffle 

to raise funds for the start of the 

programme. 

SailAbility Wellington has 

loaned the trust two Hansa 

303 single or two-crew 

sailing keelboats to help get 

the programme started in 

Lyttelton. The trust is looking 

to purchase its own vessels after 

enough fundraising. 

Acland looks to Wellington’s 

SailAbility as the model to 

replicate as it has nearly 400 

users of the service a week. 

“I hope we’ll have a range of 

people from kids 

just having their first sail to 

people who might actually 

take up the sport of sailing 

and enter regattas that we 

organise.”

Community pitches in to revitalise track 


A NEGLECTED track in 

Cass Bay has been given 

much needed attention by a 

group of scouts, boaties, and 

conservationists. 

“We’re very conscious of 

making sure the children are 

very aware of keeping their 

own harbour clean and tidy,” 

said Lyttelton Sea Scouts leader 

Ruth Targus. 

About 65 people from the 

sea scouts, their parents, the 

Pigeon Bay Boat Club and the 

Cass Bay Reserves Committee 

pitched in for the working bee 

at Pony Point Reserve. 

“There’s always been a track 

but it’s not been very clearly 

marked. It’s always been a bit 

ropey so it’s nice to be working 

on it,” said Targus. 

Rubbish and weeds were 

collected while the track was 

cleared and refined. 

“We got several bags of 

rubbish which I thought was a 

job well done.” 

Targus said the group 

weeded and watered plants 

around the 51 memorial trees 

planted for the mosque attacks. 

“Everyone ended up really 

pleased with how it went.

The Phoenix Crown 

by Kate Quinn and Janie Chang 

An unforgettable story about the intertwined lives of two wronged women, 

spanning from the chaos of the San Francisco earthquake to the glittering 

palaces of Versailles… 

San Francisco, 1906. In a city bustling with newly minted 

millionaires and scheming upstarts, two very different women 

hope to change their fortunes: Gemma, a golden-haired, 

silver-voiced soprano whose career desperately needs 

rekindling, and Suling, a petite and resolute Chinatown 

embroideress who is determined to escape an arranged 

marriage. 

Their paths cross when they are drawn into the orbit of Henry 

Thornton, a charming railroad magnate whose extraordinary collection of 

Chinese antiques includes the fabled Phoenix Crown, a legendary relic of 

Beijing’s fallen Summer Palace. 

His patronage offers Gemma and Suling the chance of a lifetime, but their lives 

are thrown into turmoil when a devastating earthquake rips San Francisco 

apart and Thornton disappears, leaving behind a mystery reaching further than 

anyone could have imagined . . . 

Until the Phoenix Crown reappears five years later at a sumptuous Paris costume 

ball, drawing Gemma and Suling together in one last desperate quest 

for justice . . .

Foundation marks 30 years with $30,000 in grants 

THE SUMNER Ferrymead 

Foundation is celebrating 30 years 

serving the local community, 

and to mark the occasion they 

are offering grants to groups, 

clubs, and organisations within 

the foundation’s catchment area – 

from Taylors Mistake through to 

Mt Pleasant, around to Heathcote 

and across to Brookhaven. 

There are four grants valued at 

$5000 each and one at $10,000. 

“When the Sumner Ferrymead 

Foundation was first formed, 

it waited for individuals and 

organisations request assistance,” 

said foundation chair Martin 

Hawes. 

“Today we are taking a more 

proactive approach, offering 

individual scholarships and 

awards like the primary school 

Puawai Awards, the academic and 

outward bound scholarships, or 

the apprentice and environment 

awards. And this year we are 

offering the five community 

grants to celebrate our 30-year 

milestone.” 

Applications are sought from 

a wide range of clubs, groups 

and organisations. They might 

be looking for a grant to improve 

sporting facilities or the health 

and physical wellbeing of the 

community, to help arts and 

culture to flourish, to encourage 

and support learning and 

development at all ages, or to 

encourage a cleaner greener 

environment in our community. 

Applicants should go to the 

foundation’s website –sumnerferrymeadfoundation.co.nz 

– to 

download an application form and 

submit it before April 22nd 2024. 

The recipients of the grants will 

be recognised at a community 

event in July. 

“It will be a great opportunity 

to acknowledge those that are 

making a significant contribution 

to our community,” said Hawes. 

“The recipients of the 

scholarships and awards 

programme will also be recognised 

at the same event. 

“We are fortunate we have 

sponsors for the scholarships and 

awards programme so we can offer 

it every year. 

“Ideally we would love to find 

sponsors for the community 

grants programme so we can offer 

that every year too.” 

• If you would like to know 

more about sponsoring a 

community grant, or a scholarship 

or award for an individual, please

Foundation.

Record number of athletes 

take on Sea2Sky Challenge 

AFTER A DIP in entry 

numbers last year following 

the Covid pandemic, the Brad 

Richards Building Sea2Sky 

Challenge at Scarborough roared 

back to life with a record number 

of entries at the sold out event. 

Children as young as five 

through to Sumner’s Deb 

Rhode who is aged over 70 took 

part in a variety of events on 

March 17. 

Race options included a kids 

swim run, a 16km trail run 

and the blue ribbon triathlon 

and duathlon event that takes 

athletes from Scarborough to 

the top of Mt Pleasant and out 

to Godley Head by bike before 

running back to the Clocktower 

via Taylors Mistake. 

“We’ve never had a sell out 

at this event before, everyone 

is so stoked to have a full field 

on what is such a beautiful and 

challenging course,” said event 

director and Redcliffs-raised 

John Newsom. 

“We try hard to have event 

options for everyone not just the 

uber-fit athletes. 

“This year we saw significantly 

more teams where each athlete 

does one discipline of the race”. 

Lidia Belles-Escrig, a Sumner 

resident and one of the event 

sponsors from Physiosouth, said: 

“It was a great hard honest race. I 

just wish I had the legs for it.” 

Title sponsor Brad Richards, 

of Brad Richard Building in 

Redcliffs, said it has “been 

involved with this event for 

several years now”. 

“We love to see so many locals 

taking on this end of summer 

challenge in such a beautiful 

place. I did the 16km trail run 

again this year and it doesn’t get 

any easier”. 

Said Rhode: “I have done this 

race as an individual several 

times but as my body was not 

cooperating this year I entered as 

a part of a team. 

“Our team were all over 

70 so we knew we wouldn’t be 

winning anything in the open 

division, but it was great fun 

to be able to be part of such a 

brilliant event, its a challenging 

course and the location is 

unsurpassed. 

“Hopefully next year I can be 

back to do the full course as an 

individual.” 

The winner of the men’s full 

triathlon Laurie Watson finished 

in a blistering time of 1hr 21min. 

He and silver medalist Tom 

Somerville battled it out on the 

hilly run course. 

Watson said: “I really struggled 

on the first half of the run and 

Tom caught me on Taylors 

Mistake beach but I sprinted into 

the start of the twisty stuff and 

managed to extend the gap and 

bring it home.” 

Winner of the women’s 

triathlon Kiri Atkin said: “It 

was tough out there. I’ve done 

this four times and it doesn’t get 

easier but it’s really fun.” 

Veteran Anthony Chapman 

took line honours in the 

duathlon with Courtney Hawke 

winning the women’s race. 

A change this year was the 

modification of the trail run 

event. The run is now almost 

completely on trails, including 

the stunning Crater Rim track 

with views over Lyttelton 

Harbour where the SailGP took 

place. 

Michael McGleenan took the 

win by two and a half minutes, 

while Kirsten Hall won the 

women’s run by nearly five 

minutes.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST 19 

A Breton aboard visiting French barque 

CLAUDE MARIE Guillo, born 

on January 19, 1878 in the 

Morbihan region of Brittany, 

France, embarked on a life at 

sea as a young man, eventually 

joining the crew of the French 

Barque Boieldieu. 

In May 1904, the Boieldieu 

berthed at Sydney, Australia 

for what was to be Claude’s last 

voyage, at the age of 26, and the 

first for Captain Jules Boussion, 

as the ship’s new commander. 

This vessel, a three-masted 

steel barque constructed in 

Nantes in 1902, weighed in at 

2353 tonnes gross, was 69.3m 

long, with a beam of 12.3m, and 

a draught of 6.9m. The winch 

house included a steam ‘donkey 

engine’ for lifting anchor, a 

common feature of the era’s 

sailing ships. The forecastle 

housed more than 72 fowls 

and several pigs, apparently 

destined for the galley. A pet 

goat, monkey, small dog, and a 

ship’s cat, were also aboard for 

the crew’s amusement. 

Departing Sydney on June 3, 

1904, laden with 27,313 sacks 

of wheat bound for Falmouth 

in the United Kingdom, the 

Boieldieu initially enjoyed fine 

weather before encountering a 

series of severe southern gales 

that slowed her progress. 

Then, on June 27, just off Tini 

Heke Snares Islands, 100km 

southwest of Rakiura Stewart 

Island, the Boieldieu sailed 

into “mountainous seas” that 

smashed the shaft of her rudder 

up through the deck. 

Thus began her perilous drift, 

taking the Boieldieu south of 

Motu Ihupuku Campbell Island, 

more than 600km from Rakiura, 

by July 10. 

Efforts to repair the damaged 

rudder proved futile, with six 

seamen nearly drowning when 

hoisted over the stern into the 

freezing waters. 

Three attempts to fashion a 

temporary rudder failed, with 

heavy seas taking the first two 

away, and the third proving 

too cumbersome for effective 

navigation. 

By July 21, the barque drifted 

as far as latitude 57° south, 

almost halfway to Antarctica, 

before southerly winds pushed 

her back towards New Zealand. 

By August 1, the Boieldieu 

was west of the Bounty Islands, 

approximately 600km southeast 

of Lyttelton. 

After 45 days adrift, rescue 

came on August 10 when the SS 

Toroa out of Chatham Islands, 

followed by the SS Kittana, a 

collier of the Union Steam Ship 

Company (USSC), sighted the 

The French barque Boieldieu at sea c. 1902-21 and right, in dry dock for repairs at Lyttelton Port 1904. 

PHOTOS: Te Ūaka Lyttelton Museum ref. 14985.7/ 14985.6 

vessel just 50km east of Godley 

Heads. 

Despite the loss of three 

towing lines in heavy seas, 

Kittana successfully towed 

the barque into Whakaraupō 

Lyttelton Harbour on the 

morning of August 11. 

The local community warmly 

welcomed Boussion and his 

crew, with the captain lauded 

for his efforts to maintain 

morale through the ordeal with 

the distribution of musical 

instruments, plenty of good 

food, as well as rum coffee at 

breakfast and wine with dinner. 

A British crew member, 

when asked his opinion of the 

Frenchman, cheerily stated: 

“Tip top! If every British skipper 

treated his men as he treats us 

there would be more British 

seamen in British ships.” 

Subsequently, the Boieldieu 

Claude Marie Guillo aka 

William Thomas Thomson 

was dry docked for repairs 

on August 25, with the event 

attracting significant public 

interest. 

Crowds arrived from 

Christchurch to view the barque 

and the large makeshift rudder 

that had been constructed 

in the desperate attempt to 

steer her. The USSC was 

to be compensated £1250 

(NZ$400,000) for the salvage 

operation. 

In a gesture of gratitude, 

the crew presented a set of 

vestments and an oil painting 

of the barque to St Joseph’s 

Catholic Church in Lyttelton. 

An inscription on the painting 

read “Reconnaissance à Marie. 

Le 10 Août, 1904,” or in English, 

“An offering to the Virgin Mary, 

August 10th, 1904”. 

The Boieldieu was in and out 

of dry dock twice from August 

into October, with work on the 

new rudder and the reloading 

of the wheat cargo finally 

completed in late October. 

However, departure was 

delayed when the USSC 

requested the Marshal of the 

Admiralty Court seize the 

Boieldieu, pending payment 

of the last £600 (NZ$192,000) 

for the salvage. The towing 

fee was finally settled at the 

end of October, at the same 

time Boussion received a cable 

message relaying the birth of his 

son in France. 

The Boieldieu’s main and 

mizzen masts were decorated 

with bunting in honour of the 

event, and the ship was ready to 

sail with her full cargo of wheat 

on board, when a hull leak was 

found. 

The ship’s cargo had to then be 

unloaded yet again for further 

repairs to be made through 

November into December. 

At this point, a number of 

her crew were paid off, while 

others had simply jumped ship, 

with positions advertised for 

replacements. 

Finally, at about 4am on 

December 28, 1904, the tug 

Lyttelton towed Boieldieu from 

her anchorage off Te Pohue 

Camp Bay through the Heads 

to resume her journey, with the 

French barque safely discharging 

her cargo at Falmouth some 10 

months after leaving Sydney. 

The following year she caught 

fire at Oakland, California, badly 

damaging her poop, and was 

twice stranded in the Gulf of 

Mexico in 1919. Laid up in 1921, 

she was broken up at Lorient in 

Morbihan, France in 1927. 

One of those Boieldieu sailors 

who decided to stay on in 

Lyttelton Port was the young 

Breton, Claude Guillo, although 

it would appear perhaps not 

with the relevant authorities’ 

consent. 

Working various jobs through 

Canterbury and Timaru 

districts, Guillo, also known 

as William Thomas Thomson 

married Helen Ann Fraser in 

1914. The happy couple settled 

in Methven and had 10 children. 

• Many thanks to Jasmine 

Thomson for sharing her great 

great grandfather’s seafaring 

adventures.
