Souvenirs have been taken from an historic shipwreck, the Department of Conservation says.
The wreck of the Addenda lies on the Onoke Spit beach in Wairarapa where it ran aground in 1904.
A clean-up at the beach last weekend revealed signs of digging and pieces of timber appeared to have been removed.
DoC Wairarapa area manager Chris Lester says the area may need to be fenced off to preserve what is left of the wreck.
