capsized navy ship
The HMNZS Manawanui grounded and sank off the coast of Samoa as a result of human error, an interim report has found.
An ocean-going tug and barge are due to depart New Zealand this week and head to Samoa to assist with the sunken HMNZ Manawanui.
Artist and activist Michel Mulipola, who hails from Lefaga and Vaimoso in Samoa, says the sinking of Manawanui is not a small thing for Samoan people or the moana.
