Steamer SS Dicky was shipwrecked on a Caloundra beach which was named after her. The ship sailed from Rockhampton and as it arrived to clear Caloundra Head it met lashing rain and cyclonic winds that sent the ship on her beam ends. Captain James Beattie was forced to beach the ship to avoid hitting the rocks off Moffat Beach.
On 4th February 1893 at 10.35 am the ship grounded stern first on the beach. The Marine Board of Queensland tribunal concluding the Captain showed lack of judgement in not successfully weathering Caloundra Head, for which his licence was suspended for three months.
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 refloated, 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.
Dicky Beach is a patrolled beach, and is home to the Dicky Beach Surf Life Saving Club. It has been awarded numerous awards, including the 'DHL Queensland Surf Life Saving Club of the Year' in 2009.
Seen on the SS Badger - a passenger and vehicle ferry between Ludington, Michigan, and Manitowoc, Wisconsin that has been in service on Lake Michigan since 1953. It's the last large coal-burning steamship in the United States.
The trip of 97 km takes approximately 4 hours. In 2008, staterooms were available the night before the crossing, operating as a sort of floating bed and breakfast in Ludington, Michigan. I don't think they still do it.
The high performance Chevrolet 454-SS was only in production for under four years but apparently has a bit of a cult following in the US. Now to be enjoyed in budget diecast form thanks to Maisto who only recently brought out their Fresh Metal casting.
Initially available in a signature red though i'm sure we will see a black one at some point, it does actually impress for its low price point. No interior which has been their norm for over 20 years now but in lieu Maisto have given it detailing on all four sides.
Found in an Auchan hypermarket in France.
Mint and boxed.
Anchored off St Thomas. Note the huge davits that were used to raise and lower the gigantic tender boats.
