A 40m former trawler now completely covered in jewel anemones and soft coral, with a figurehead of a dove and rainbow. One of the most colour-saturated wrecks anywhere and a genuine pilgrimage site, divers leave flowers. Bombed and sunk in Auckland harbour by French DGSE agents in July 1985 to stop her protesting nuclear tests at Mururoa, killing photographer Fernando Pereira. The attack backfired spectacularly, becoming an international scandal. Beyond repair, she was scuttled here in 1987 as a dive site and memorial, gifted to the Ngāti Kura people. Anchorage: Anchor in Matauri Bay; a good Northland cruising stop. Hazards: No site-specific hazards noted, brief normally.
