When a Warrior Dies
Duration: 52 minutes
Following the bombing, a decision had to be made about what to do with the ship. When it became obvious that restoration was financially unviable, it was decided to sink the ship in a position to allow access for divers.
The question was - where ?
Enthusiastic interest shown by Dover Samuels and the Ngati Kura people of Matauri Bay in Northland led to the Warrior coming to rest in the waters off the island of Motutapere.
The Warrior is a reminder and tribute to the ideals and dreams of pacifism and conservation. However, she is only accessible to a select few. In an attempt to create a memorial accessible to all comers, the people of Matauri Bay commissioned internationally recognised NZ sculptor Chris Booth to create a large freestanding sculpture of stone overlooking the last resting place of the ship.
