Im kinda surprised they didnt blame it on the harbour master or the radar.

The exact cause of the wreck is not yet known.

"I look forward to pinpointing the cause so that we can learn from it and avoid a repeat," she said, adding that an immediate focus was to salvage "what is left" of the vessel.

Lol.

Three inquiries were held after the shipwreck, but due to the unwillingness of the Royal Navy to admit an officer's culpability much of the blame was laid on Edward Wing for not guiding the ship into the harbour and for failing to maintain the signalling station on Paratutai Island. In all, 189 people died in the wreck of HMS Orpheus, including Commodore Burnett and Captain Burton, giving it the highest ever casualty rate for a shipwreck in New Zealand waters.

From the signal station atop Paratutae Rock, a tall rocky outcrop that stands out from the northern headland, Edward Wing looks on with dismay. On seeing the ship approaching, nearly an hour ago now, he had turned his spyglass to the channel and seen the tide was near full and the bar navigable. Hurrying to the signal mast, he hauled two squares to the yardarm: “take the bar.” That was ten minutes work. But the spyglass in his sweaty hands showed him the ship still heading south, under full sail and steam, on a course that would miss the entrance to the channel. So he lifted the mast’s north arm: “keep more to port.” That took ten more minutes and by the time the ship turned to come in, it was in the wrong position, just where the breakers were. Chest straining, Wing raised another signal, “danger: keep back,” but ten minutes more was precisely the right amount of time required, at that speed, to bring the Orpheus onto the Middle Bank.

Of the other vessels in the harbour that day, the only one big enough to attempt a rescue is the steamer Wonga Wonga, under the direction of the harbour pilot, Captain Thomas Wing, Edward Wing’s father. Unfortunately, the steamer is currently located in the south channel. Wing, in his much smaller pilot boat, can take his four Māori crew—Nehana, Timiona, Roma and Kuki—and row directly across the shallow middle of the harbour to the north channel where they will help pick up survivors, but the Wonga Wonga has to steam out beyond the heads of the harbour and back down the northern side before it can reach the Orpheus.

Dude tried his best and still got the blame, so maybe we should wait to reserve judgement until we find out what happened. I doubt as captain she was the one even navigating. She/they whatever, may pick the routes but someone else is doing the driving.
