"21 Jul 1922 - It was reported at Portland at 5am that the 11,200 ton NZSC steamer REMUERA, (built in 1911) bound from Southampton for Pitcairn Island and Wellington, has been in collision with the MARENGO (6,300 tons and built in 1910) of the Ellerman's Wilson Line, 15 miles SW of Start Point. The REMUERA was badly damaged and was subsequently brought into Portland Harbour with the assistance of tugs. She was beached on mud flats to enable an inspection and temporary repairs. Two Weymouth steamers took off the passengers - no casualties. The MARENGO sustained little damage and continued on her passage from New York to Hull. The passengers, including 446 emigrants, were taken by train to Southampton."
