Dark Sun: Te Rapunga and the quest of George Dibbern by Erika Grundmann

Dark Sun is the remarkable story of self-confessed 'vagabond' George Dibbern. Following internment on Somes Island in Wellington Harbour in World War I, he returned to his native Germany where for ten years he struggled unsuccessfully to find employment and to adapt to the role of husband and father. In 1930, with his thirty-two foot ketch, Te Rapunga, he broke free from the impending scourge of Nazism, and the constraints and conventions of society. He was to roam the Pacific for the next thirty years, interrupted only by a second internment on Somes Island in World War II, and died in Auckland in 1962 while preparing to return at last to his wife and three daughters in Germany.
