Hm, some placemarks telling me it's a shipwreck!?

Looks to me like a dredge fitted with a helipad that has run aground.

The weird feature is a shipwreck, the maori to be precise.
The below link gives more details, basically a cargo ship which struck a rock. Flipping cold water :shock: but quite a site! :spin:
