This week marks 50 years the anniversary of the sinking of the Wahine, during which 51 people lost their lives. Julian Webb was an engineer on the NZ Railway ferry 'Aramoana' which went to help those on the stricken vessel. Amongst those they managed to pick up was a small boy who Webb says he'd like to meet again.
