See Portland Shipwreck, Owaka River, Pounawea, New Zealand

The 23 metre cargo scow "The Portland" continues to decay where it is beached on the lower reaches of the Owaka River, near Pounawea on the South Island of New Zealand. Built in 1910 of kauri planks, but now many of the rotten plankings came unfixed - it now resembles a sieve, rather than a ship. Since 2016 she has been aground with water coming in each tide through gaps in rotting planks.
