Ex Q405 was towed to Whakatahuri in the Marlborough Sounds where it was stripped and burnt.
After she sank during the Wahine storm, she was raised and patched up and sold to the Wells brothers of Whakatahuri, they would tow her there and she would be ran aground and burned on November 22 1969 for the copper fastenings the hull had.
