Adolphe_1904_v1
The bow of the "Adolphe" is still visible on the Shipwreck Walk, on the northern breakwater at Stockton. The "Adolphe" was wrecked on the notorious Oyster Bank in September 1904 - no lives were lost. The mast in the foreground belongs to the "Regent Murray" (wrecked in 1899).
The modern ship entering port is the "Ocean Wind", registered in Port Vila, Vanuatu.
