The Wahine lifeboats were launched on April 10, 1968, during the tragic sinking of the MV Wahine in Wellington Harbour, New Zealand. The vessel encountered severe weather conditions, leading to the evacuation of passengers and crew. Despite the efforts, the incident resulted in significant loss of life and remains one of New Zealand's worst maritime disasters.
