Shipwreck of the S.S. Speke Hoodie
Landscape Hoodie
designed and sold by LukeDavidPhoto
A three masted steel ship of 2,876 tons and 93 metres, having been built in Wales, 1891, the Speke drifted broadside on to a reef to the east of Kitty Miller Bay on 22 February 1906 while en route from Peru, via Sydney, to Geelong, in ballast, to pick up a cargo of wheat. The accident was attributed to faulty navigation by the captain who had confused Cape Schank Lighthouse for the Split Point Lighthouse at Aireys Inlet. A lifeboat was quickly launched after striking the reef, but it capsized and one of the four occupants drowned. Those remaining finally reached the beach exhausted. Little of the Speke was salvaged and heavy seas battered the wreck for several days until it broke in two and rapidly disintegrated.
