Steve Taylor, The Wreck of the Janie Seddon (PLACES 2023)

Built in 1901 the Janie Seddon began life as a submarine mining vessel and was the last surviving military ship to have served in both world wars. In 1950, she was laid up on the Motueka Wharf not far from Nelson. After sinking at her moorings a few years later she was stripped of anything of use and left to the elements.
