Do you or anyone else know who's boat this wreck was, I grew up in the area too
but never knew the story behind that boat lol.

That is a great question, but I can't answer that question, the wreck has been
there as long as I can remember, maybe someone else can?

maybe something to do with the military?

Have there ever been any big storms in that area?

Looks like an old abandoned barge of some sort; maybe once used to dredge the
harbour?

The hull was cast out of concrete and did not float as expected and consequently
abandoned, it was a private venture or so I was told by a prehistoric resident
overlooking the remains.

I'm looking for information about the 'Onerahi Chaos'. Is it true that Onerahi
is upside down and geologically revered around the world?

Northland Allochthon rocks underlie a significant proportion of the study
areas,

particularly Onerahi and Otaika. The “Northland Allochthon” is a
collective name

that refers to a wide variety of Late Cretaceous to Early
Tertiary Age (110 to 23

million years old) predominantly marine sedimentary
rocks that have been

tectonically emplaced (regionally displaced) from the
north over the Waipapa

Group basement rocks. The lithologies within the
Northland Allochthon have not

been differentiated on the geological plan due to
the internal complexity of the

group of rocks. Northland Allochthon materials
were previously widely referred to

as the “Onerahi Formation”, “Onerahi
Chaos”, and “Onerahi Chaos-breccia”. These

names are still widely used by
the geotechnical and civil engineering community.



The Northland Allochthon
rocks range from non-calcareous (very weak to weak)

mudstones and sandstones,
