After tragically losing his daughter at a young age, a father decided to give her one final gift. John Cargill, son of Captain William Cargill, lost his youngest to a rip tide in the 1870s. She drowned and, understandably, it broke his heart.
So, he used his grief and chipped away at a sandstone coastline south of Dunedin, New Zealand. He hand-carved a passage through the thick stone. The resulting tunnel was a path to a private beautiful beach… a touching tribute to his lost daughter.
