Bound from New Zealand for Rarotonga and San Francisco, the Union Steamship Company’s S.S. Tahiti lost her starboard propeller on August 16, 1930, approximately 460 miles from Rarotonga. The fractured shaft severely damaged the vessel, flooding the engine room and cargo holds. The Norwegian steamer Penybryn stood by until the larger American steamer Ventura arrived, whereupon the passengers and most of the mail were transferred. Tahiti was abandoned on August 18 and sank later that day. This is one of only two recorded incidents in which mail was recovered from a vessel lost in mid-ocean.
