Located between Te Papa and Waitangi Park is a section of sunken ground that runs from Wakefield Street and Chaffers Marina.
At the Marina end is a wooden bridge that crosses this area. Located on the right of this bridge if crossing from the Te Papa end you will see a propeller.
This was placed here in 2006 after it was donated by the Rotary Club of Wellington.
The Propeller came from the NZ Navy Ship Wellington which served with the navy for 18 years and before that it was named HMS Bacchante which served with the UK Navy for 12 years before that.
The boat now sites at the bottom of the Cook Straits near Island Bay (South Coast of the North Island) after being sunk. It is now used for diving on and around and also for it to become a reef.
