	Elingamite
		As early as the 1890's it had been noted by Thomas K Thompson, a Surveyor with the Survey Department that the Three Kings Island group were not correctly charted in relation to Cape Reinga meaning that the nautical maps of the day were incorrect.
		The hull of the Elingamite remains where she sank, the playground of divers, treasure seekers and giant groper.
		She is relatively undisturbed apart from the occasional detonation of explosive by divers seeking to wrest the treasure which still remains inside her belly...........a treasure which she and the conditions of sea and tide jealously guard even now, almost 100 years after she went down.

		Dive charters to the Three Kings are expensive and demanding of vessel, crew and divers.
		This is located on one of the most exposed corners of the Kings and was still fairly sloppy due to the substantial south west swell.

		Another casualty of the Sydney-Auckland service was the Huddart Parker ship Elingamite, of 2,585 tons, which ran ashore on West Island in the Three Kings Group on 2 November 1902 and sank in 20 minutes with the loss of 45 lives.

		The Elingamite carried 136 passengers and a crew of 58, and 28 passengers and 17 of the crew died from drowning or exposure.
