Old Ship Wreck, Kitty Miller Bay
The SS Speke was a huge three-masted steel ship built in Wales in 1891, and at the time, was one of the largest in the world.
In 1907, the captain of the ship noticed a fire on Phillip Island and mistook it for the Split Point Lighthouse, which is located close to the bay. Consequently, the ship ran around close to Kitty Miller Bay on the reef. This faulty navigation led to the drowning of one occupant, but the rest survived and made it to the beach.
