Memories of Kotuku sinking in Foveaux Strait still vivid 15 years later

The Fishing boat Kotuku is brought to the surface at Port William, Stewart Island in 2006. Fifteen years after fishing trawler Kotuku capsized in Foveaux Strait, widow Judy Hayward will visit the cemetery and gather together with some of those involved in the tragedy, just as she does most years. Hayward’s husband Ian (known as Shorty) was one of nine people aboard the fishing boat when it was hit by a rogue wave on the afternoon of May 13, 2006. Three people survived and swam to nearby Women’s Island but Leslie Christian Topi, known as Peter, his daughter Tania Marie Topi, his two 9-year-old grandsons Shain Jack Topi-Tairi and Sailor Roy Trow-Topi, Ian “Shorty” Hayward and Clinton Allan Woods died.
