__Cospatrick Shipwreck__ Many early ships were wooden and vulnerable to fire. The worst fire in New Zealand’s maritime history, although not in its waters, occurred on the //Cospatrick// on 18 November 1874. The ship was bringing 433 emigrants from Gravesend to Auckland and was off the Cape of Good Hope in the south Atlantic. The fire probably started when a passenger or crew member, pilfering cargo, set fire to straw. The fire ignited coal, turpentine and oils in the hold, and the ship sank 40 hours later. Two lifeboats with 62 survivors were launched. One was never seen again. The second was found by a passing ship 10 days after the fire, and only 5 people were still alive. Two died soon after being rescued, leaving a final toll of 470 dead.

I had to write a dairy of a person who is in a New Zealand disaster. __Cospatrick Shipwreck Diary__ Day 1 7:30 am On the Cospatrick, its in the morning and I'm in bed in my cabin waiting for my breakfast, oh here it comes now. Day 1, 10:45 am its boiling hot, and I would die for a glass of freezing water, Its my birthday today but I'm all alone on this ship I got no family on it but a lot of strangers I'm about to go to the bar to get a drink and I want to mingle. Day 1 12:50 pm The whole ship is shaking and the captain sent us to our cabins, I think he said the ship was on fire so we had to pack our things and get on the raft so these might be my last letters.So I finished packing and I'm about to go to the raft so goodbye. Day 1 2:30 pm I can't believe it I'm alive on the raft I thought I would die but a lot of people have died so far I think about 410 are dead because only 60 people hopped on the rafts so I'm really scared. Day 1 4:12 pm I have lost sight of the other raft and now I'm freaking out, I don't know if I'm going to die so I'm just going to breath through it. Day 5 12:12 pm I'm officially freaking out I'm delirious and dehydrated I AM GOING TO DIE!!!!! Day 10 1:30 pm I'm Really Sick I am really tired and I am really thirsty My heart God Help Me.

This Person was found dead.
