On Monday the 9th of March 2020 at Otaki College we were remembering the S.S Otaki. At the start of this Commemoration we were welcoming in our guest.
Then when that had finished we all sat down and then Andy Fraser got up and did a speech. He then asked another guy to come and he was talking about how he had been on the ship and when he had saw all the ships being blown up Just the sound would be loud and your ears would hurt.
He also said that he had nightmares about it the noises the people screaming for help. When he had finished there were other men like the Russia convoy and the German ambassador.
After everyone had finished speaking we then had to watch some of the students bring reefs to the people that were to do with the S.S Otaki.
Then we had heard the bag pipes starting and then the people walked out like the German ambassador and Russia convoy and Andy Frazier. I found it very interesting and some of it was sad.
