• SS Ventnor Maritime Tragedy On 28 October 1902, the British freighter ship SS Ventnor met a tragic end after striking a reef while sailing from Wellington Harbour, New Zealand, en route to Hong Kong. The maritime disaster was particularly poignant due to its unique cargo: the remains of 499 Chinese gold miners being transported back to their homeland. During the ship's evacuation, one of the four lifeboats capsized, resulting in the loss of 13 crew members' lives. The vessel ultimately sank, taking with it the precious cargo of ancestral remains, symbolizing a profound loss for the Chinese immigrant community.
