Infinite electric IS required, if there are any issues with the ship let me know.
The sink button can be found in the Captains Dayroom, (the room below the bridge), behind the desk, I have tried to get the sinking to be close to how she actually sank, but it isnt 100% accurate because of stormworks related nonsense
Thanks to Aquadoobe for making videos for the ship, Gonb for testing the ship, Victor Young for books he provided me which helped greatly in research, and the Wellington Museum for excellent photo references
Wahine and all the other ships in the "Wahine Collection" were made for the 58th anniversary of the tragic sinking of Wahine
This model was uploaded at 8:43 PM on April 9, the same time Wahine departed for her final sailing.
