SS Dicky

View on Black

 

Dicky Beach is a suburb of the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, located within the Caloundra urban centre.

 

The area was named after the iron steamboat, the SS Dicky, which ran aground during heavy seas in 1893. It was re-floated, but again, heavy seas turned the ship about and back onto the sand where it remains to this day.

 

Dicky Beach remains the only recreational beach in the world to be named after a shipwreck. (Wikipedia)
