Eliza Ramsden, wreck

★★★★☆ (12)

Constructed in Glasgow Scotland in 1874 for Samuel Ramsden of Melbourne and named after his wife, this ship cost 10,000 pounds. She was a three-masted iron barque 151 ft long and 27 ft wide with a gross tonnage of 415 tons. The vessel sunk in 1875 on her first voyage out of Melbourne when she struck Corsair rock.

The Eliza was abandoned without loss of life, but floated free overnight and slowly drifted back into the bay and sank where she now lies.
