HistoryBuilt in 1883, acquired by McIlwraith McEacharn Line around 1906 for use as coal hulk, repurposed Australian Commonwealth Government to ship grain to the United States during WWI, reconverted to a hulk around 1922. In 1934 the Shiplover's Society of Victoria arranged for the coal hulk to be partially re-rigged and refitted to celebrate the centenary of European settlement. Scrapped around 1960.
