SHIPWRECKS

7. "Auckland" wreck

Date: 20.02.1909

Location: Possession Island

8. "Balgowan Castle" wreck

Date: August 1904

Location: Easter Cliffs

The route to the wreck leads over the cliffs past huge whale bones scattered on the desolated beach. It travels all the way to Easter Point, where diamond mining took place in 1924. An old truck with wooden spoke-wheels near an old shack can be viewed as well as the remains of steamship “Balgowan Castle”, which ran aground in 1904.

No photos of these two wrecks are available.
