OTAKI MUSEUM EXHIBITION
World War 1 at Sea commemorates the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the ship SS Otaki on 10 March 1917. The exhibition pays tribute to this event, in which Captain Archibald Bisset Smith VC lost his life, as well as the involvement of New Zealanders in the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy during World War 1. It discusses the convoy system, as Prime Minister Massey had not been prepared to send an expeditionary force without naval support. Hospital ships, including the Marquette, will also be included, and together with some fine paintings by Otaki artist Wallace Trickett.
The exhibition is open to the public 10am to 2pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and will be closed by the Otaki Scholar in July 2017 (date to be confirmed). Entry free. For more information www.otakimuseum.co.nz
