About this site
An 80 m twin-mast steamship that ran onto the eastern side of Shag Rock in 1881 and settled upright on the gently sloping reef, her stern in about 20 m. The masts and funnel are long gone, but the stern with its rudder and propeller is intact, a spare propeller lies amidships near the boilers at 9-12 m, and the open hull is packed with glassfish before giving way to a garden of acropora table corals.
