During her 24 years’ service, the Mamari (lately sold to a German buyer) had a remarkable accident when in the Calliope Dock iff November, 1906. She moved forward on the blocks with the result that 50 men were swept oft punts and stages into the water, two being killed and 30 injured. The vessel had been docked early in the morning and at the time of the accident about 50 men were engaged in scrubbing and cleaning the hull as the water was. being pumped out of the dock. The Mamari had been shored up, but she suddenly moved forward, and caused a great surge of water. Practically all the men were lifted by the wave, and were swirled round in the Water, many of them being injured by pieces of timber. The work of rescuing the men was carried out with great difficulty, because it was feared that the Mamari would capsize as much as possible in the small space and crush those in the water and their rescuers. The bodies of the two men who Were killed were hot recovered until the Mamari had been undocked and the dock had been pumped dry.
