About the event

SS Ventnor Talk | Hannah King

Hannah is a member of the Ng/Wu whānau, descendants of Ng Jor Ching, whose kōiwi—headed for reburial in China—were on board the SS Ventnor when she sank oﬀ the coast of the Hokianga in 1902.

At this special talk, Hannah will speak about the SS Ventnor, and the connections made in recent years, as part of the ancestral landscape of the Chinese community and her whānau in Aotearoa.

Hannah’s family has a long history in the Ashburton region, including being among the founders of the Ng King Bros Chinese Market Garden Settlement.
