More Than a Few Pebbles

Hi All

This story caught my eye from NewstalkZB - Auckland, New Zealand - http://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/newsdetail1.asp?storyID=115832

"Rocks may pose danger to shipping 17/04/2007 6:12:03

An investigation continues to find out why a barge capsized in Wellington Harbour, spilling 300 tonnes of rock onto the seabed.
The 28 metre Kimihia was being towed by a tug at the weekend when it overturned just north of Barrett Reef.
The rocks were destined for stop-bank work on the Hutt River.
Harbourmaster Mike Pryce says the rocks are sitting in a large pile nearly two metres high.
He will see if they pose any danger for deep draught ships in bad weather conditions."

Regards

Steve Ellwood
